We need to decide as a nation what level of military force to support...
...and then fund it appropriately.
This isn't the cold war, so the old rule of 2.5 wars doesn't really apply. What we have now are more regional conflicts, but whether or not we should be involved is something that needs to be addressed.
Whatever we decide as the appropriate size for the military (what operational level we will support plus training and reserves), we just need to make sure we're funding it appropriately. And if that funding is level is too high, then we need to readjust the goals, not inadequately fund goals that are too ambitious.
