You can't compare the two. The problem with infrastructure comes from political unwillingness to raise the gas taxes which is the primary funding mechanism for infrastructure, to a large extent too we overbuilt to a large degree . But it would be a mistake to cut military forces across the board to transfer the money to "infrastutcture" infrastructure has it's own funding mechanism.
