I agree the two wars for damn near 20 years is too much, Trump does too. That's where liberals could find some common ground with Trumpy and other repubs like Rand, if they decided to get their heads out of their asses, walk back from the edge and towards to middle.
Trump literally ran on criticizing the war and how it's cost the country too much and we're probably not going to see any return on our investment. Hell when he tried to pull out of our little minor involvement in Syria the swamp erupted in bi-partisan hollering.
One way to help protect the country from outsiders attacking other than going to their home and fighting endless wars is stricter immigration and even some outright bans of certain countries...we see how that goes over...
A lot of that 6 trillion for the wars has gone to useless nation building. Bullets, bombs, and boots on the ground kicking ass are relatively cheap next to building schools, infrastructure, and trying to raise an army out of herding people. Of course if Bush just told the armed forces to kick ass and roll out after about a year or two, there would be hollering about not cleaning up and trying to build some sort of better more stable society.
The country has spent a lot of money on a lot of other things over the years, not just war.
I'm all for reallocation of money to more pressing needs, but libs are going to have to come to the table with some cuts of their own. Again, Trump has been pushing to get out of the wars as well as cutting back on all the aide we spread around the world, what are the Libs willing to give up?
