And they do, but the question of how much should we cut always comes into play. The U.S. military has a much smaller footprint now then we had during the Cold War, but the fact that a current gen fighter jet or Navy ship costs about 8x more to develop and build today then it did 30 years ago negates any sort of cost savings there.
