I'd like to see what they're spending the money on before deciding to give them more/stop cutting.

Because I get the sense a huge chunk of the budget is going to various things that have no relevance to the kind of wars we're fighting/will be fighting.

US Military Budget in 2013 was 640 billion

US Military Budget in 2015 is projected to be 756.4
