The funds supplying the war are not a part of the defense budget. What Obama wants to cut is the budget that pays the troops, provides their services, runs the bureaucracies within the army, research and development (which will be the first to go) and other various costs. this is not a defense cut because of whats going on in Iraq or Afghanistan, this is a cut that will lower the quality of our military for many years to come, especially since R&D will go down.
