    That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard in a while. Every US war has resulted in a bigger military. That’s generally how military spending works

      The USA is both expanding it’s military and also has been losing enlistment for a long time. It’s not a good market. Ukraine, however, is a good example of a military shrinking because of a serious conflict. Russia is not in a serious conflict, it’s engaged in what amounts to a police action.
