"We want less military spending."

No "WE" don't, we want MORE military spending. In a libertopian world, an isolated America is a safe America.

I want smart military spending. The Pentagon is a bottomless money pit. Weapons procurement and design is corporate welfare. Endless wars like Viet Nam, Iraq, Afghanistan cost lives and treasure while destabilizing the world.

Unleashing the US military should leave the target looking like Tokyo on March 6 1945. That is how we influence hearts and minds.

Your local PD has much looser rules of engagement than a soldier or marine in a war zone. Make war or stay home. I am tired of watching the US military lose wars.

Currently we spend 40 cents of every military dollar spent on earth. We out spend our nearest rival 4 times.

How much is enough? 5% of our GDP? 10%?

If you want my head to explode say “what ever it takes”.
