Secure America: Reverse the Decline in Military Capability

Don't Cut Military Spending

Jim Talent reminds us that the United States Military is 40 % smaller than it was in 1991.
"Earlier this year, Congress created a blue-ribbon independent panel to review the Pentagon’s strategic plans and concluded that the military was headed for a “train wreck” unless the basic inventories of the services were recapitalized."
China's is aggressively increasing its military capability.  Rogue nations present the threat of acquiring weapons of mass destruction soon.  With terrorism now a constant threat on American soil and abroad, America would serve its citizens well by increasing and modernizing its military capabilities.
As Reagan stated, “Of the four wars that happened in my lifetime, none occurred because America was too strong.”
