In my opinion, hell NO.

Sorry, but shall we cut our military down as Clinton did and then spend years rebuilding it to get her back up to speed? If we have a threat, we need our military then. Not months or years later. We need several rotations of personnel, too, otherwise let’s go back to a draft. Maybe that’s the only way those of you who see little value to maintaining a strong, ready and capable military will come to understand the benefit. Too many in our most recent generations can’t comprehend a draft system. Maybe if pitifully-minded peacemakers were to actually serve with their minds, hearts, bodies and souls, our nation would come together as a united and proud America once again; where pledges were said, people didn’t speak during the National Anthem, flags displayed on homes were lit at night, our military could safely walk outside at night and not be murdered, and their votes could be protected.

Give me a break. How about ending the automatic pay raises for congresscritters first? Why not start there?
