Problem with this line of argument is that it seems to be based on a naive assumption that money saved on military adventures will be spent on "healthcare, education etc." Don't hold your breath ... it won't be. There are other, more pressing, and more ideological destinations for the money ... paying down the debt, filling the political and corporate trough ... lotsa good stuff.
