All I know is the next GOP candidate may as well stay home if they don’t show a little Reaganesque restraint when speaking of war.

Americans are tired of it.

You know, that was another reason I believe Reagan became so popular. He did use restraint, unlike a Bill Kristol candidate like Warmonger McCain.

That’s correct. Repairing a weakened military is not the same as war-hungry. Whoever the candidate is, they need to campaign on fixing a weakened military but also be clear that the best tool to avoid war is a strong foreign policy backed by a military at the ready. Reagan had it right, as he usually did.

Reagan didn’t cut military spending.

I see this is the nutsy propagandist brigade thread.
