I remember in 93, 94 in particular (because I happened to be taking a class on US defense policy), everybody, both sides of the isle, was talking about the "peace dividend."
I also am curious to know (and I'm sure some left wing wonk will provide) which things Miller himself voted against, or if he voted in the opposite direction from Kerry on each of those bills.

I didn't hear Miller's speech, so I didn't write down a list of the weapons systems Kerry allegedly voted against. But this issue has been raised before by BC04, and addressed.
