Apparently you are unaware that our military is in such a bad state that we are sending destroyers to sea with no (as in literally zero) ammunition for their guns because we didn’t buy any and we’re putting up combat aircraft to defend the United States with guns that don’t actually work. We are doing both and worse.
Kinda sad that the Pentagon cannot supply the basics on an $810 billion budget (21% of the Fed budget). The military budget was up to $880 billion in 2011 under Obama (up from $730 billion the last year of the G.W. Bush admin.)...then was brought down to $810 billion in 2017...(an 8% reduction). An 8% reduction in “overseas escapades” (Europe/Germany/Japan, etc.) doesn’t seem like too awfully much to ask to help balance the budget.

Not to mention we have ships that fail basic seamanship and get hit by supertankers.
