The trouble is the deficit is made up of lots of 29 billions and they will all have to be clawed back, the military is the easiest pain free cut the feds have at hand to be honest, and if you can't afford to pay them or feed them then you have to bring the troops back, you cant leave them scattered all over the world to look after themselves.
