I would hope a faux fiscal conservative would be glad defense spending decreased as our involvement in Iraq decreased.
Or are you in favor of giving billions to defense contractors for doing nothing as a form of corporate welfare? It would be idiotic and irresponsible to continue spending at the 2010 rate when the mission has changed and so has the size of the military (as it should to support the mission.) Suggesting otherwise is blatant partisanship.
So are you supporting the claim the military hasn't spent to upgrade equipment? Hell, you of all people should know we built an entirely new Armor School.
