We need to eliminate the standing military and return to the idea of a "well regulated militia." We have the most powerful military on the planet and waste trillions on it regularly, yet it can't take and hold a two bit tribal country without much fire power. No country could ever take us, and it is obvious that no country would ever consider a nuclear attack, because they would be vunerable to the fallout from such an attack. The only thing the current military does consistently is kill innocent women and children and devastate the countries they illegally invade.
