...unless the missile come. Then it would be worth every cent we paid for it. it is like insurance. You hate paying the premiums but you are glad you have it when you need it.

As we are seeing in the Ukraine drones are the future of warfare. If we don't invest then we will probably regret it one day.

More pay for the troops? Some of the lower grades exist near the poverty level and deserve to get higher pay.

I have no problem with funding the military at an adequate level.

However, I do have a problem with being the World's Policeman and fighting other people's wars for them.
