Reform the organization of the military to reduce wasteful spending and help balance the budget.

Created by T.D. on November 09, 2012

The military is not an economically efficient organization, due to a number of reasons. There is a considerable amount of wasteful spending from such sources as no-bid contracts, use of contractors for work which could be done better and cheaper in-house, maintenance of our no-longer relevant nuclear arsenal, and over-ambitious research and development projects. This petition is to bring to attention the need to:
1. Hire a number of budgetary analysts and consultants to take chisels to the military and find more cost-effective ways to accomplish the same objectives.
2. Reduce reliance upon outside contractors and where necessary, make those contractors more competitive.
3. Disarm the majority of our nuclear arsenal, re-purposing the materials involved in civil research.
