Do Socialists support the military?
Socialists support the soldiers but not always the campaigns they are forced to execute. The Socialist Party supports a reduction in the military budget and closing all oversees US military bases. However, this does not make the party anti-military; it means we favor a sane foreign policy. We would prefer a smaller, well-equipped active-duty military, with a sufficient reserve force. One day we hope to see an end to standing armies altogether. In the event that day comes, only a well-trained reserve force and an armed citizenry would be required.
