text: Says a lot about Trumpet when "making America great again" means pumping more steroids into the baddest-ass bully on the block. Conventional military might for national defense is a given, but its effectiveness in controlling the rest of the world is long past. We should've learned from Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq -- and even our own Revolutionary War -- that might doesn't make right, and all the firepower in the world is useless against determined homegrown rebels fighting on their own terms on their own turf. It makes sense to cut federal spending on questionable programs with huge overheads (primarily for bureaucracy). Funding must be based on the biggest bang for the buck, and Trumpet's proposed cuts may be a move toward greater fiscal responsibility -- as long as we don't end up pouring the savings into the gaping hole that's the military-industrial complex or programs that have been broken for decades but continue to receive funding as entitlement.
