Sure if you want to keep losing our warriors to plane crashes that result from old equipment, and hey, why worry about the Chinese and Russian military build ups, we can get by and n reputations, right?

Just so you know I don't believe in large standing Armies. Especially armies that can't/won't defend our borders. Just reduce the Army size and increase the BP/ICE, direct transfer. What good is gallivanting around the world if the southern border overrun? Obama turned the Army into a social experiment anyway. R U telling me the US Army can't live without $25B over four years? LOL

I immediately transmitted this to all the world leaders. Expect contact from them immediately on their plans to disarm based on your input.

That’s crazy talk, unless your country is protected by oceans.

Oh, wait. The United States is protected by oceans. So I stand corrected. You’re right. A small, nimble, and lethal US army - backed by a large trained reserve - would work out just fine.

Now, Europe is different. There are no oceans between them and the Russian bear. That’s their problem. Let them raise - and fund - their own armies.

Totally agree. Millions of determined people simply walking across our southern border represent a far greater threat than multiple thousands of Chinese warships crossing the ocean with a similar number of (unmotivated) troops. Who would want to be a Chinese soldier wading ashore to encounter LOTS of defensive troops and a population with millions of guns coupled with trillions of rounds of ammunition?

I would absolutely support a rejuggling of funds to ensure the wall is built and maintained. I believe the other advantage of the wall is that once it is completed...regular everyday people will see their lives start to improve.

The wall must go hand-in-hand with halting the anchor baby birthing industry and stopping the outrageous chain migration nonsense.

Ask the mothers and wives of the soldiers who died in those crashes. I think the military should guard the borders as well but I don’t believe in throwing away the lives of the bravest of us.

There are buildings full of people who are sucking up government money. Get rid of some of them and use that money for the wall. The economy is good and they can find other jobs.

(Even if we don't pay retired military and their contractors fees for big fat profitable 'speeches'...)

We put billions into protecting the border between North and South Korea... More billions protecting the ingrates in Germany and EU from Russian invasion...

Then there's Blood AND treasure protecting thugs in the middle east...

Doesn't seem like we're asking too much wanting our military to protect US for once... you know, spend a few bucks defending OUR Southern border from invasion...
