It would be much easier to list programs I would NOT want cut or eliminated entirely.
1915 standards? Get a grip. Romney tried scare tactics the third debate, and Obama predictably handed his ass to him. 35% of the world's military spending happens in the United States. Fact of the matter is the DOD will have to be trimmed, either when the consequences can be managed, or in the middle of debt crisis.
You should have asked Trump how he planned to pay down the debt before you hired him. Even a cursory glance at his proposals would have raised doubts.
That information came from some general or admiral. Yes our military is working with old, rusted out parts, and they had to use parts from other planes, ships to fix the present ones. I am completely griped. Military spending set up by other presidents & those country's not paying their bill to USA, Trump changed that.
If you ever did research, you would know the truth. Right now, you are not informed. Obama cut military spending ON OUR MILITARY. So frustrating how people have no info, but post. Romney was correct, obama was not.
You need to research. I did spend some time & found the below, for you to POO POO. OBAMA'S SEQUESTRATION MILITARY CUTS. Heritage foundation. I found L. Graham saying something similar, but he received that info, from high ranking military person. You know, I can't spoon feed adults on here.

Do we have the smallest Navy since 1917?
A popular talking point about the United States having the "smallest Navy" in almost a century emerged in the 2012 presidential campaign and has seen new life this cycle.
"I'm going to rebuild our military," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on June 4, 2015. "We're on a course to have the smallest army since 1940, the smallest Navy since 1915."
The literal accuracy of the claim has changed recently and from year to year. In 1916, the U.S. Navy had 245 active ships. The number peaked at a massive 6,768 ships during World War II. Then the number drifted down during most of the 20th century, with slight upticks during the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
As of Dec. 9, 2015, the number of active ships stood at 272, which is the lowest since 1916.
