I suspect there are very few people on DU who believe that we don't "need the ability to protect ourselves," and I haven't seen anyone suggesting that on this thread. Believe it or not it may be possible to defend ourselves on less than 700 billion dollars per year, especially if we stop using so much of that to breed new enemies.
And this post doesn't even cover the damage we do with our "off the books" intelligence budget.
We are bankrupting ourselves morally and financially. This idiocy is literally killing America.
