Care to wager on when the US dollar is supplanted by something else, say the Euro or the Chinese yuan?

Cut military spending to 0 and it would happen basically overnight. Cut it by 50% and it happens sooner than if it is left at current levels. My point is that a lot of people who want to drastically cut defense do not realize the non military value it provides.
