You are clueless about the state of our current military....clueless! Go do some real honest research and then come back, and just maybe then you will be able to enter into a real constructive dialog, but not until you do some REAL FACTUAL research. Like most ignorant leftists in this country, you are clueless....or, you just don't give a shit about the military...I opt for the latter to be the real reason.
But it is factual. In 1990 military spending was 300 billion and in 1999 276 billion--for a slight decline. And I know for certain that it took only a matter of weeks to defeat the Taliban and Saddam. Is there an enemy that is stronger than the two that we are going to go to war with? And don't say China or Russia because a war with either one would soon result in a nuclear exchange so while that's an argument for a strong nuclear program that isn't an argument more military spending when we already have a military sufficient to beat anyone we will come up against...
