1. While I agree that we have to stop the wars....

...what are we going to do with the ~500k people who have been trained to kill and avoid being killed when we try to integrate them back into civilian society? I don't think they'll be happy 'building roads and bridges', and the are most likely PST'D???

2. Rule 1 is to stop making things worse

So we bring them home and transition them. This isn't the first time we have had to wind down from a war (WWII, anyone). It can and must be done. Hopefully better than we did after Vietnam.

3. Simple - We will need lots of security to protect 'our leaders' from

the masses when the job situation gets past a certain point, with still no indication from the government that they get the reason for the high unemployment, or what to do about it.

Gotta put that good training and those expensive war toys to good use.
