That said, not sure where a lot of the soldiers would end up. Many are HS educated and don't fit in the elite units/cyber realms. I'm not saying get rid of the common soldier completely, but cut down on that presence.

I think we have them beat on that as well. I have no problem if we pull back most if not all of our troops all over the world and let them defend our boarders as we slowly reduce our forces.

I guarantee you, FD. We don't. We have a decent cyber operation, but we aren't pushing it as hard as maybe we should. As far as economic we certainly need more pressure there.
