I dispute that Vet Affairs is either discretionary or really military. It is the post-service OBLIGATIONS required by the contract with military personnel.

And given the experiences of Cellar veterans, no-one could say it is over funded.

Now, about the other military expenses....

Say, did you guys know that you're about to station 2,500 marines in Darwin, Australia. Damned if I know why.
