I don't know if there already is a thread on this but I'll post it anyway.
With the global economic recession, there are likely to be large defense spending cuts in the US defense budget. There have been various suggestions in what to cut ranging from scrapping the DDG-1000 program to cutting F-22 production to reducing funding for Future Combat Systems. What do you think the US should cut out of the budget, if anything? What should maintain the highest priority and stay on the budget?
I'd also like to hear opinions on how other countries are dealing with the recession in terms of defense spending. Thanks.
