When we fight wars in the middle east we kill civilians and the families of those civilians are like " I don't like Al Quaeda (or ISIS') methods but those bastards killed my mom/dad/brother etc. so I'll join them." Hell how many of Al Quaeda's top leadership did we kill just in the first few years ? They have more territory and more members than before we invaded. We provide the Saudi's with bombs to massacre civilians in Yemen. I'm sure when Yemenis see the word USA on those casings they seethe in hatred for my country.

our trillions and trillions of dollars and soon to be expanded military budget is a fucking a waste.
We should triple cut our military spending because a good portion of the US looks like a third world country and if we keep doing what we are doing hell even more of the US is going to end up terrible. Economy speaking the way things are now is not even viable because people need to earn a living wage products need to be bought. All in all raising the minimum wage ending our wars going to a green energy we would all be better off.

If you knew we are the reason why ISIS exists hell the US and the EU is the reason why the middle east is a shit hole. We destabilize and remove any secular government that doesn't agree with us. I don't agree with our friendly relationship with Saudi and Turkey or agree with the war in Syria. If we remove Assad were just creating another reason for us to stay in the middle east and our spending in that country as been a complete waste. The US doesn't win wars anymore we win battles we can never win a war in the middle east unless its through diplomacy and culture otherwise throwing troops at it wont solve anything.

Right dyresand, some people still don't have clean water, our infrastructure gets a grade of D, and the Orange Wonder wants to spend more on the military.
I guess he can count the people making guns and bombs as private sector jobs added. The Dubya tax cuts on steroids plan he has at best will cause a boom and bust cycle. Dubya's tax plan didn't even do that.  RE: Republicans shouldn't be allowed to complain about wasteful spending

History shows that declining powers do not stop their decline by inflating military budgets; on the contrary, siphoning money into such an unremunerative portion of the economy often hastens the relative decline of power.

Me, I wish we could be more like the rest of the world and cut %50 of our military spending and use that money in ways that directly help the people. Although the military industrial complex keeps countless people employed making military equipment that we often don't use. This is one reason why military spending isn't cut. Its more a case that military contracts are an easy source of fat bribes. There are tons of better ways to do stuff to employ lots of people.

There's nothing wrong with trying to win a war in which you're involved, nothing at all. But spending more money on tanks, warships, fighter planes and bombs is never, ever going to defeat ISIS. If Trump feels that he must increase his military budget, the money would be better spent on winning hearts and minds. Regardless of what western conservatives think, this is an ideological war, not a hardware war.
