The USA has long overspent on the military.

And a very large portion of the spending that creates the debt is the military spending.

I was not talking about "small programs here and there". I was talking about the large departments that should not even exist.

Yep.
Military spending is necessary in our dangerous world. Perhaps the military budget could be cut but cutting the budget too much will weaken our defenses and endanger all Americans. The military budget is small compared to the government spending on healthcare and welfare, and there are other wasteful programs draining our finances and threatening to bankrupt us, like giving money to abortionists or to colleges to train kids in Marxism and leftist perversion.

Speculation. The US has troops all over the planet. That costs a LOT of money and creates a lot of enemies.

You clearly do not know what the actual numbers are. A trillion dollars is not small.
