If you read between the lines. I truly believe Trump will dump F-35. Its one of the most expensive military spending and not something the air force wanted
I’m okay with downsizing our presence abroad and shrinking our bases where possible but it isn’t something that can be done in just a couple of terms. It would need to happen slowly over a couple of decades to do correctly so we didn’t overshoot the size needed in the various places.
If we are paying to keep our troops at these foreign bases then a renegotiation of terms might be in order if our presence helps the host country even more than it helps us. Just common sense really.
We are in crippling debt thanks to the last two Presidents. Now we have hard choices to make.
Commies for Trump?
I would say, eye-glazing. Just more BS from the Nation.
I believe that a country, no matter what its intentions were/are, can “nation-build” when that ‘building’ becomes a steady drain of bribe money that does no good.
Evil nations are rebuilt when their tyrannies are completely routed and DESTROYED - no backed into a corner where they have to take ungodly sums of money just to ‘go along’ with the current whatever administration and their own power grabs.
To build, you have to raze and excavate. Foundations. New materials. When that is done, get the hell out and stop meddling.
Ike would tell us that you’re a commie, Greider.
NO SALE.
What is the author talking about here? When and where has Trump ever spoken "violently"?
As for the author of this article: he should probably look long and hard at which party gets us embroiled in more questionable military actions. Leftists willfully misunderstand the purpose of the military; they think it is nothing more than a tool for showing off one's muscle. Thus, we have leftist presidents who love to send troops off here and there, with no clear rationale for doing so. And when real problems come up, they don't recognize them--because they've never learned that the military exists to solve very specific problems. Thus, we had the situation where Bill Clinton ordered military attacks on Kosovo and other places for no discernible reason, while he (knowingly) allowed Bin Laden to build up a terrorist network which directly led to 9-11. And we currently have the situation where Obama is using the military to bring down [relatively] stable countries in the middle east--again, for no discernible reason. Leftists only want to do things "differently", with no real rationale other than to avoid real problem-solving since thinking about rational solutions never leads to perfect solutions.
Don’t be fooled. There are two of these “America won’t have a military if Trump wins” articles.
Folks, this shows you Trump is winning. THEY CAN’T FIND ANYTHING TO STICK. They are flailing away.
Trump has talked endlessly about making sure our armed forces have only the best equipment available. He has a “Carry a big stck” philosophy. The same philosophy as Reagan BTW.
I see this as a boon for the military industrial complex.
In the 8 years of Reagan zero terror attacks.
