“I read with some alarm the enthusiastic commentary in your editorial regarding the proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget ("Trump's Breakthrough Defense Budget" April 3).
Aside from the enormity of the amount proposed, defense budgets are as susceptible to leakage as any government-funded program. Diverting expenditures to military weapons and away from social needs -- housing, food and medical care -- isn't sensible nor is it possible, given current domestic needs. The U.S. will have to rethink the size of its saber and carefully determine where to most effectively deploy its forces.
