Good points made in the comments, get out of NATO (I say UN as well), combined command structure for Navy/AF (I say one unified defense command, end all service rivalries and duplications), leave foreign bases.
The one thing missing is the need to publicly, irrevocably, proclaim our intent to maintain and if necessary use the nuclear deterrent. That alone makes an ultimately smaller military practical.
Now, match the military cuts with welfare cuts and dissolution of complete government departments like energy, education, and HUD, and we could make some real progress.
