The Chairman of the JCS has said that if the automatic budget cuts kick in for the pentagon,  we will see more war:

The nation’s top military officer warned Wednesday that automatic defense cuts agreed to in last year’s bipartisan debt limit deal could lead to more war.

At a Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee hearing, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Pentagon has gone along with recent targeted cuts to limited targeted cuts, but argued that the the sweeping across-the-board cuts in the so-called sequestration would weaken the country’s ability to deter adversaries and therefore lead to more war.

“Sequestration is absolutely certain to upend this balance. It would lead to further end-strength reductions, the potential cancellation of major weapons systems and the disruption of global operations,” Dempsey said. “We can’t yet say precisely how bad the damage would be, but it is clear that sequestration would risk hollowing out our force and reducing its military options available to the nation. We would go from being unquestionably powerful everywhere to being less visible globally and presenting less of an overmatch to our adversaries, and that would translate into a different deterrent calculus, and potentially, therefore, increase the likelihood of conflict.”

Who the hell are we going to war with?

We have troops and/or mercenaries in:

• Afghanistan.
• Iraq.
• Iran (if it’s Thursday, but it’s a secret)
• Bosnia
• Kosovo
• Germany
• The UK
• Poland
• Korea
• Japan
• Kazakhstan
• Pakistan
• Belgium
• Italy
• Panama
• Kuwait
• Saudi Arabia
• Bahrain
• San Diego
• etc.

Seriously, there isn’t anyone left for us to invade who has any oil but the Norwegians.
