Is a $54 billion dollar defense spending increase for 2018 necessary given the level of our global military involvement compared to 2008?

I'm not going to ask privates to pay 5% of the monthly base pay while the AHCA reportedly gives $274 billion in tax cuts to the richest 2% over the next decade.

No I mean in relation to your view in regards to it being a recruitment tool. You said it is like an employee benefit used to recruit with. Does that benefit and the change to it have any impact in the recruitment process. Pre 9/11 they had to pay something, post they didn't. Did that change result in more or less recruits, did quality change, did the amount of people using the benefit change? These are things that would be interesting to see laid out.
