It needs to be understood that military technology is undergoing rapid change.

If you are worried about The Debt (and you should be) Forget looking at The Defense. Look where The Real Money is..Entitlements.

There is well over $5 trillion in domestic spending from which funds can be cut to fund defense spending. Pick the cuts as you may - a lot of that $5 trillion causes more harm than good anyway.

And / or: Greatly expand petroleum products production, which generates revenues all over the place, but most crucially in exports.

“ The battle within the GOP over how much to increase defense spending to deter threats from Russia, China and Iran”

The only threat I am concerned about is from the border with Mexico.

The threats from the “Big Three” are all to weak, small neighbors who have nothing to do with us. Instead of US military spending on them with no return to us, let them reach accommodation with their neighbors.

It’s Spend, Spend, Spend.

They don’t care. They’re 75 and somehow money keeps falling in their laps.

As Obama said, my family will do just fine.

“Defense Spending” = “Ukraine Money Laundering”

How much of the Defense budget is “black” and what are they doing with that money and why don’t they tell us?

I read all these “conservatives” ranting against defense spending and I want to cry.

Are you out of your freekin minds?

China, Russia and Iran are no threat to us?

Unreal.

“Boo hoo I only care about the Southern Border! “

Are some of you really that ignorant?

Sorry, but for so called “conservatives” the viewponts about national defense are completely outrageous.

Mitch McConnell has proven himself to be nothing more than an assistant Democrat. This is just another example.

We should redirect defense spending to building more windmills and solar panels.

After all, weren't we told that global warming is our worst enemy?

If there are any leftover funds they can be directed to gender transitioning drugs and procedures in order to create a more inclusive military.

Realistically given how much the Democrat party has screwed up the military, no amount of money will fix it.
I advise young people to get as far away from the Democrat run military as they can.
So you will not have competant, motivated people to operate all those expensive machines, so don’t bother.
All you will have is Fags deviates, and Democrats.
Up to you to figure that one out.

We have an open border. Spending money on our military is worth nothing. More money for trannies and homos. No money for the invasion going on. Cut it to 0.

Rand never wants to cut anywhere but military and senior citizens. Why can’t he ever want to cut elsewhere? Two groups most likely to vote republican. One reason rand won’t go anywhere in leadership. He’s not very good at picking groups or agencies to cut.
