We can, my opinion, cut military spending, just probably not right now. Though that isn't any different then the people saying we need to cut a bunch of government. Could we in the future? Maybe, now? Sounds like a terrible idea. If it was decided tomorrow to up and cut spending in half, it'd probably have a pretty bad effect on the economy because, well what you said. Likewise with GM, at the time they went bankrupt the effects would of seriously dented the economy when it was already a flaming shit hole. If GM failed say 2004 or 2005, I doubt there would be as much desire to bail them out, because the effect would of hurt people, sure, but things were going well enough to probably take it.
Going all the way back to tie in the cutting government, if it were 2004-2005 it'd be a good discussion to have. It is now, just now isn't the time to act on it. Private hiring has been noted as being pretty shit for the past couple years, hardly handling the amount of people looking for work already. Seems a piss poor idea to cut jobs with no-one really picking up the slack. Likewise now probably isn't the time to completely cut the military budget, fairly certain things could be done to reduce it and might be able to nick a bit here and there, but wholesale would probably go shittingly.
(And if it had to be said again, or at all, this is purely my opinion on the matter. By no means am I an economist or know any of this for certain, just speculation and thinking/typing thoughts.)
