Military spending dollars go, at some point, to US payroll, almost
nothing is outsourced (I hope!). So, cuts in defense spending translate
to job losses somewhere. However I could see direction and emphasis
being changed. I could see the star wars program being morphed into
more troops in uniform, for instance.

I think that McCain would have cut big defence programs faster than
Obama will. Aside from McCain's 'cut government waste' history, his
credentials as a defence supporter allow him more leeway than Obama's
peacenik murmurings. Obama might cut defence, but I'd be willing to
bet he can't buck the industry lobbyists enough to do anything beyond
token cuts. The big programs will remain intact. My opinion.
