MAGA Wants to Cut Defense

[the watcher]

If you define "Defense" as actually defending the nation, and not carrying out some unelected :think tankers'" vision of geopolitics, it makes sense. Change the name of the DoD back to the War Department, to reflect it's actual mission. Audit the pentagon and hold it accountable.

The funny thing is that most of the world wants the US to cut military spending.
There's also a worry about Chinese and Russian influence in US politics. Who do you think they'd target first? MAGA?

1. Prove that most of the world (excluding US adversaries) wants the US to cut Defense. That's a lie.
2. If the fucking FBI did their job instead of working for the democrats we wouldn't need to worry about the Chinese and Russians would we? Remember when the FBI offered $1,000,000 for proof of the Steele Dossier?

When did MAGA become anti-military appeasers?

Possibility of defense spending cuts after McCarthy deal divides GOP

"We got a $32 trillion debt. Everything has to be on the table."

“Everything is on the table”

Everything should be on the table.

You could cut 10% from the DOD budget just be removing the "use it or lose it" mentality for funding.

That's totally HILARIOUS considering how many Trump supporters ARE veterans.

Bodecea has become ridiculous.

She used to be a not half bad poster...but Trump and MAGA broke her.

32 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT.

Everything SHOULD be on the table.

It isn't anti-military to say that.

well being a trump supporter is not a good look...

You could cut 10% from everything and still be ok.

The pretend American with a Canuck avi wants to tell America how to defend itself.


The only thing toro is worried about is whether the Ukrainian laundry machine keeps running.

It is a leftist take you fucking retard

Imperialists do love war.

Russian military doesn't count, Comrade.

Also, judging by their performance in Ukraine, Russian military doesn't count.

So...where did you serve again?

 

[martybegan]

Cut defense spending?

Our tanks are from the 1980s.

Our F-16s and F-15s are from the 1970s.

We are building a carrier to replace a carrier that is 50 years old.

Our SSBNs were built 30-40 years ago.

Our service members got their first decent pay increase in years.

Due to recruiting issues, our manning for the military sucks.

Sounds like some ripe areas for cutting. [/sarcasm]

The first few points ignore the fact that while the platforms are that old, many components have been upgraded repeatedly to keep them current and applicable to modern conditions.

A first flight M1 is nowhere near the same as the current iteration.

When did MAGA become anti-military

I support the military so much that I want them all to come home and stop getting foreign STDs.

 

[strollingbones]

[Missourian]

including legislative pay checks?

Absolutely. Believe me, they aren't becoming multimillionaires on their government paychecks.

When you have a massive war machine, the idiots in charge have to use it.
