I agree with Trump having the MI power base; but, the bigger reason for funding the military NOW, is that he plans to use them soon. Hopefully, it will be peace through strength ... but, failing that, then: VICTORY.

I believe we have the power to take out NorK and Iran nuclear programs (and without going nuclear ourselves); but, then what?

We would need to still be at full strength to avoid retaliation from China/Russia.

IMO, his first (very near term -- and close to home) military targets are:

The Wall (USACOE)
-- and --
the Deep State (Marines).

We'll see...
