How about we give them our surplus F-16s and whatnot while we rebuild our own stock?
The US Military equipment stock is old, worn out and due for a great number of replacements.
Of COURSE I would not be opposed to selling them anything they want to buy short of nukes. Same goes for Poland. Make them part of the F-35 program or sell them equipment rotating out of service.
But few realize how bad off our own military is right now.
Most of the heavy equipment (land and air) is the product of the Reagan surge in the 80s.
Only the Navy has some new stuff to speak of and their numbers are FAR, FAR too low.

I completely agree--as regarding all of the above points.
