Being in our military under Potus Trump, where you are allowed to kill/maim/neutralize anyone trying to kill you is the way to fight wars.
Not to mention mentally unstable self-mutilators and transsexuals, although that last one Trump at least tried to do something about, over the outrageous public objections of Mattis.
Trump is doing well in a lot of ways. As far as I can tell, he's failing on the military. Tossing a few million extra bucks their way is pointless if it gets spent on increased gender-sensitivity and diversity training, which appears to be the case.
