    Higher. Senator Warren argues the budget should be lower, but it needs to be 3-4 times higher. The idea that the military can ever be bought out and under the control of certain groups should never be a real possibilty. The more we pay the military to protect Americans, the better. We need more miltary personnel from top to bottom, and respect to them the way they deserve. Questioning the budget the way Senator Warren has been in court is wrong.

    Military coups can often be staged, but they have been used throughout history to take over governments and keep the ruling class on top. We do not ever want that to be the case in America. The military should serve the best interests of Americans.

    Also, more men and women who serve should have pathways to congress.

    I consider myself liberal about a few things such as abortion. A women has the right to have the baby or not earlier in the pregnancy.

    I still believe military spending needs to be much, much higher.

    Yes, our troops defend America. They should not have to worry about money if it means in advancing technologies and strengthening the military.

    When you're talking about the budget, are you thinking specifically about wages for soldiers? Because there's lots of stuff that the military pays for besides payroll. How about this, I'm in favor of significant increases in compensation for military personnel, while shrinking the size of the standing army and reducing the budget allocated to them.

    We do not know what the problems of tomorrow will bring us. Do you support Senator Warren and want to cut military spending? Saying it needs to stay the same is basically cutting it because of inflation. It needs to be raised. The military protects and serves the best interests of America. You cannot put a dollar value on that. Give them what they ask for.

    I support Senator Warren in a lot of her policies and she is a great candidate. But she needs to stop harassing our military leaders in court.

    You want to take the most expensive military in the history of the universe and increase spending 4 fold?

    Spending more than the rest of the world put together isnt enough? We need to spend five times as much as the rest of the world to really be safe? In case of what? In case the aliens from Independence Day invade?

    Maybe we can just do away with the civilian side of things and have a military commission select a military Governor General of the USA. Institute martial law and compulsory universal conscription. Rearrange US public society along the lines of a military unit. That'd really streamline things.

    Let's one up the Swiss. Every draft eligable adult gets a Davy Crockett to keep at home under the bed. 'cause that Red Islamist invasion is sure to happen any day now.

    What is pga?

    Supporting the military is trolling? Not supporting the troops who have defended us throughout history is the most un-American thing you can do.

    We have the best military in the world combined because we spend more than the rest of the world combined. Give them what they require.
