Always make sure our troops have what they need to do their jobs effectively. Never decrease in a way that undermines their ability to do so, but only increase for the sake of our troops having what they need to keep doing their jobs at peak efficiency.
@8Q6C4Y44yrs4Y
Increase, but not too much until the debt is reduced
@92MDVFR3yrs3Y
Stabilize military spending and audit the current budget more meticulously. Bribery and kickbacks notoriously infiltrate military spending.
@6HDD83R4yrs4Y
Increase, but only in countries where the U.S. is (with the approval of the U.S. congress) currently at war with. reduce the military personnel by half (only in military bases that are not in proximity to any armed conflict).
@8R7JPB54yrs4Y
Decrease, We need to revert to a defensive military only.
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
Decrease, and begin signing contracts with more private militias and companies, as well as deploying the national guard.
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
Decreased if possible and of course within reason and ensuring it still functions as it should.
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Decrease, and reform is need to prevent wasteful spending practices
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Decrease, and we should dismantle the military industrial complex
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Neither, but we should dismantle the Military Industrial Complex
@87V5TYY4yrs4Y
Increase, but we should dismantle the Military Industrial Complex
@87V5TYY5yrs5Y
Increase, but our procurement and other spending methods should be reviewed

@8CN7P7L4yrs4Y
Decrease, but make it so we are still on top on military spending
@8HL5YXT4yrs4Y
increase the military spending so long as it doesn't increase the national debt.
@8QM9QMR4yrs4Y
Decrease, by bringing our troops home.
@8KH79S25yrs5Y
Neither they should use it better and only increase during wartime and conflict.
@LangworthyUS9th5yrs5Y
Increase spending if needed also look at ways to cut waste as much as possible. Our military must be always striving for better readiness and effectiveness. We should be mindful of the taxpayers while making sure we have the best and strongest military in the world. Negotiating for better contracts with companies. Pulling the troops home from Afghanistan would save a ton of money so that would negate the need for increased spending while still strengthening our capabilites and effectiveness.
@8MMFMZB4yrs4Y
Need to get rid of the military industrial complex.
@8RJ2TQK4yrs4Y
I think defense spending should be slightly reduced until we get the budget deficiet under control.
@8T9PVS44yrs4Y
Only when we need an excessive amount of armory/weapons. When we are not in any wars there is little reason to give even more money, except maybe for research and experimentation with new weapons.
@8XCJY2Y3yrs3Y
Increase, but allow for private and state funded militias.
@8XSXMM63yrs3Y
Spend as needed and spend more efficiently.
@8Z4TXWG3yrs3Y
They should spend enough to keep military maintained and strong but no more unless war is a possibility.
