Incrementalism. Most things in government work through incrementalism. As you said, you can't change this overnight. It would probably take a ten year process to reallocate billions of dollars without it having a truly detrimental effect. As for withdrawing military presence, I think other countries such as China or Germany would consider picking up those pieces. Either that or we would be in an era with less international interference.
