End war

As the cold war came to an end something called the Peace Dividend came into play. This was the extra money the government would have when the defense budget was cut. During the Clinton years the military was decreased from 2.1 million to 1.3 million. If we abruptly withdraw the troops from Afghanistan will this add to the unemployment? What jobs will be available for these servicemen. Will the money we save be applied to the deficit (ha) or will it go for more government programs. Will the money we paid the serviceman in salary put him on unemployment and pay for health insurance for some poor family.
