Wars tend to be expensive...

And need to be paid for. That’s the inconvenient bit.

Any plans to tax citizens?

So, what’s your credentials to allow you to make that statement?
Have you any idea of what Obama and Biden did to the military - it’s amazing that Trump and Hegseth are whipping them into such good shape - but it takes money to defend against an ever increasing hostile world.

No. But at the same time, the MIC is a necessary evil. Otherwise, we would be more like Europe.
