The military a great asset

I have the greatest respect for the men and women who serve in the armed services.  Sadly the military is the second largest expence in this country.  As things are being cut we need to find the least painful way to cut the military.  The best way to start saving is to get rid of the recruiting costs of $7.7 billion as of 2008.  The next thing to do will help get more to join without the money.  The government gets with state and local governments near bases and rents out personel to work in the government jobs.  Make the military a stepping stone to get a good job in the police, fire department or other city jobs.  The benefit to the cities is they get to a work force of well diciplined people for half what they are now paying.  We would offer them to work for the cities and state for $12 to $15 an hour.  There are currently 1,445,000 men and women in the military.  If one third of them or about 448,000 were loaned to city and state at about $20,000 it would bring in $8.96 billion a year.  That $8.96 billion with the $7.7 billion is $16.66 billion in cuts and income.  That makes the grand total of all posts about $574 billion more work is needed.
