“Basically, the thinking is that the Democrats cannot afford to be seen as being weak on Defense.”

A bit late for worry about this. The Rats have been weak on defense for many administrations. And now we have Obama, a staunch anti-American, anti-military, anti-strength weakling and widely recognized as such. To say nothing of the pandering to America’s enemies which has not ceased.
JFK was the last Democrat president in my opinion that cared about this country and its defense.
I agree. I was in Guantanamo Bay during the Missle Crisis. He stood up for the defense of this nation.
The Bay of Pigs, on the other hand, was a shameful betrayal of Freedom and an act of cowardice.
