You’re gonna hate me but we need a 1T dollar military budget. Issue is we also need to clean it up because they pay 500 dollars for Ticonderoga Pencils at DoD. 

I’m a boomer when I say this @purp but Eisenhower’s two war front thesis still holds well. We just need to stop wasting money. 

I’d allocate most of the money for veterans though, personally. Fire away😭

You’d have to read Eisenhower. He even said in his piece about the two war front that the Military Industrial Complex was a concern and the government should work against such a power lobby.

Idk a trillion dollars seems like a lot of waste to me, especially since we can't have infrastructure or Healthcare or food assistance cause we don't got any money apparently

Power consolidation=evil.

Because they’ve made sooooo many enemies over the years demilitarization is something I don’t trust. 

I’d be comfortable fixing military budget at 4% GDP, less than 5%. 

I’m aware they’ve misused it. But it’s a view I maintain. I’m anti war but I think being prepared for war is important. Especially when we regularly protect states like Israel.

Why does a thesis reliant on accepting that "the US holds ultimate moral superiority" hold well today, when it's the one country promoting regime changes and right wing fascism across the world?
