Dept. of War is a more honest name. We need to have a new branch of the Armed services—the Border Guard, land version of the coast guard—goal—guard the borders. Have tanks, jets, robots, drones, etc...
Navy needs more ships. Take some vessels out of mothballs until we can build new ships. Convert old carriers to launch drones and helos. We need to get the rail guns to work, launch a fleet of Monitors with them and drones. Armored to take a beating and keep on fighting.
That said, at this moment, I'm more worried about the influence of the MIC.
They are looking for wars for us to fight in because it's "good for business".
