We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

Dave

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

Ka San

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Dave

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

David Kline

Too much corruption in the weapons manufacturing industry. I'm sure this increase is just more lining pockets. We already outspend the next 9 top militaries in the world combined....

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

I agree with Max comments.

Max

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.
