No other country in the world spends as much as we do by far NOW why do we need to spend even more?
Couldn't we spend that money on actually making our country better for our citizens and our children instead of putting into action the narrow fear inspired 'we must crush them' thinking technologies or paying some corporation to provide services for the military that the government would do at cost?
Oh no Willard needs to ramp up military spending to show how he is a bigger 'man' than the president who has made the sacrosanct republican issue of being strong on the military defunct. The only way to try and recapture that republican issue is to go stupid crazy and talk about Russia being our greatest threat, making it seem like all that needs to be done to fix our issues with China is to give them a stern talking to while increasing the military budget to show how tough you are.
"I will insist on a Military so powerful no one will ever think of challenging it." Willard Mitt Romney
