Or maybe, and it's a big maybe, the US could start badgering like a good neighbor with the rest of the world and the need for most off that military would disappear. Something like stop helping dictators, warmongers, greedy corporations, ... and start pushing for human rights. And this time actually doing it, not just saying it.

And the same can be said about France, Russia or any other country that does the same shit.
