#1 He who defends everything defends nothing - Frederick the Great

The man Deep State undermined understood that. He was trying to end over extended commitments around the world. However, the globalists kept on dragging their feet. Hellavalota globalists in the Puzzle Palace. Deep State doesn't care about the strata of society that still calls itself American. They and you are expendable. These are the same people who drive Californistas to using candles rather than electricity. Imagine what they're going to do to the defense budget. Hey, but you got your nice pension coming, for now.

#3 I doubt the MIC is too concerned in the short-term. The pentagon uses a Program Operating Memorandum (POM) to forecast financial expenditures based on 5 year projections. Any financial cutbacks will likely come from troops strength cuts, pensions, and benefits.

If I had a job in a PX/BX, commissary, or Class-XI store, I'd be looking for an alternate employment drop zone.
