In order to reduce defense spending, they will have to pull the troops home. Seriously, in addition to the cost of the "war" there are a lot of additional costs such as replacement of equipment, degradation of equipment, providing sevices for military members overseas (internet, phones, lavatories, mail service, food, logistic support, transportation, etc)
Additionally, they would have to ride herd on cost overruns and schedule increases for new equipment under development. It's disgraceful and other than an article every once in a while, no one sems to focus on what this is costing the US taxpayers. No one gets very excited about it and sees it as "business as usual". I worked in two different PM shops and was closely associated with a few others and it is quite shocking. No wonder the big defense companies stock does so well.
