During the campaign he didn't know what the heck he was talking about when he spouted all that jive. I suspect that he's already finding out that cold hard reality has a way of changing one's perception about defense technology when it suddenly becomes his responsibility if an American city goes up in a mushroom cloud under his watch.
One can only believe that he will cahnge if they believe that he is serious about defending America in the first place. I am afraid that he considers most of our enemies his friends and people he can simply palay with.
