Of course not...we need more peace signs, flowers and fluffy rabbits to throw at our enemies.
To: americanophile
Hmm, lemme think on this a minute....
YES!
... if they will be used against US citizens’ enemies and not on US citizens...

DemoGenerates just can’t wait to be slaves again...Put in Concentration Camps, and eventually plowed into mass graves again...How else can they prove themselves to be “good”?
They all suffer with Death Camp Victim Envy.

If it ever hits the fan with China or Russia, we’ll wish we had more of both, but especially submarines.

We need to build plenty of submarines and aircraft carriers.
We also need a moratorium on bleeding-heart Slate liberals.

Too much money on last generation weapons for last generation wars. The future is in UAVs, directed energy weapons, and spaced based defenses. The last two the very programs that have been cut/eliminated. The future is for the bold and the victors will have the high ground.
To: americanophile
Most certainly.
And we need less welfare for folks who are here illegally, no NPR, no relief for idiot liberal states who are bankrupt, and total rejection of any govt backed retirement for the UAW and other toads.
And that’s the truth.
To: americanophile
Liberals think yet more funding for welfare payouts & public employee salaries & pensions is money better spent than that spent on nasty ol' national defense.
After all, the former guarantees a 100% ROI.

Lawmakers should ask the Navy to lay out (in closed-door hearings, if need be) the precise scenarios in which the United States needs more submarines and aircraft carriers than it already has. They'll find the scenarios are pretty far-fetched. I think Joe Biden would answer the question with two words, "China."

Yes, and we need to tax liberals at twice the rate of patriots to pay for them.
To: americanophile
War is coming. We’re going to need more of everything.
Thats the one thing federal government is supposed to do. Cut everywhere else.

Too much money on last generation weapons for last generation wars.Will this still be true if we get a conservative POTUS and the middle east comes unglued? Won't most of the fighting be more traditional, meaning one country invading another with tanks and troops and aircraft, etc?

I’ll let this man speak for me:
