The missions of our military seem to be increasing, not decreasing. Doesn the Pentagon need more funding for humanitarian missions and fighting terrorists?
We live in a dangerous world, and our military must be prepared to defend America’s interests. But this does not mean we should waste tax money on useless weapons and other unnecessary Pentagon programs. With judicious cutting of the Pentagon budget, there will be plenty of funds to buy weapons that our military can use and to invest in state and local priorities, like education, that will prepare our nation for the economic battles of the next century.
