Change force structure for new types of conflicts

Q: What is your opinion on expanding the armed forces"?

A: No.

Q: Would you cut the defense budget?

A: We should cut defense spending and contain it. And we can do so without compromising national security. We need to restructure because the types of conflicts we're likely to have in the future are different than in the past, and that effects your force structure, footprint, weapons systems, etc.
