The Pentagon is bracing for the fiscal cliff. This week the White House Budget Office
directed it
to plan for $500 billion in cuts it may have to make over the next ten
years if cliff-averting negotiations fail. The negotiations may of
course not fail, but it's still worth asking: in the event that our
military resources really did shrink significantly, how much damage
would that do to our national security? Here's my initial estimate: zero.
