Many fear that cuts in the defense budget will undermine the military's effectiveness.

The military's procurement process was found to favor the vice-president's company.

A lot of well-intentioned kids signed up for the U.S. military after 9/11, thinking they were going to defend their homeland from attackers, only to be shipped off to Iraq for no good reason. Maybe this has something to do with the military's current low recruitment rates.
