That approach has lead to immigration problems, higher crime, homelessness and other problems. But we continue to spend more on "defense." 

We don't need as many bases as we have. We don't need bases in ally countries. We don't need nearly 50 military facilities in South Korea or the same number or more in Germany and Japan each. We have the technological capabilities to get troops anywhere in the world in half a day or less. We have intelligence assets that let us know a week before that half a day occurs.

We need to cut military spending.

As I have mentioned Defense has taken an cut and continues to do so. Everything you mention is or has happened. There are proposals that have us going to pre WWII spending/manning levels. I have seen a reduction to many of the benefits awarded Veterans. Military spendin has dropped 14% since 2010 with much deeper cuts on the horizon.
