I am already questioning if we need more obsolete battleships as they are planning to build. Or an “iron dome” that is completely unfeasible, expensive, and useless.

I'm sorry, you've misunderstood me; I DO think we need more defense spending, I just mean I want it actually spent on OUR DEFENSE... not everyone else's.

“I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood me; I DO think we need more defense spending, I just mean I want it actually spent on OUR DEFENSE... not everyone else’s.”

And I think you misunderstood me... I absolutely agree we need to stop defending the world. And if we are going to spend money on our own defense it needs to be on things much more practical and rational. Not antiquated toys for antiquated battle methods or defense systems that are ineffective and useless.

That is just throwing money away to keep the MIC in business. Time to do some frugal and smart shopping... Stop supporting the time honored McCain/Graham “business as usual”.

And spend intelligently & responsibly.
Cut waste, fight smart & deadly and stop wasting our people & supplies on Nations that should be carrying their own burdens.
That is the Trump/Hegseth plan.
