Under the cost-cutting plan, the army will be down to 450,000 soldiers at the end of the 2017 budget year, even though in 2013 it argued in budgetary documents that going below 450,000 troops might mean it could not win a war, USA Today said.

On the one hand, hopefully this means fewer wars of adventure for the USA... On the other hand, the world has had a relatively peaceful period since the end of WW2 in part because of US military hegemony...
