2019 Military Budget of $676 Billions

[candycorn]

Remember when we spent $100 million to bomb a runway in Syria that was back in operation the next day? We definitely don’t spend too much on our military.

What's this "we" shit lib did you even pay any taxes that year?

Obviously, retard. Not that it matters, as your dotard would have just borrowed the money from China.

I pay my fair share, and the fair share of many other mooching deadbeat Dem losers.

Red states have the highest rates of welfare amd food stamp participation. You take way more than you pay in.

Very true.

Just a quick note about the military though. I agree with what you say about the $18B CVN. Defense spending is a deterrent. NK is building missiles because they know it is the one thing that will keep the US out of their country. They look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Lybia, Syria, Bosnia, etc... and see one common denominator; they didn't have a way to hit back at us. A nuke balances the scales. The CVN is built not to fight but to keep the peace. Now; to your point, could a $10B carrier do the same job. Yes. Could an $8B CVN do the same thing. Yes. Essentially, it's a jobs program.

This is the USS Gerald Ford:

Including development cost the price to create this thing was $18 billion. It will cost billions more to man, maintain, and upgrade over the decades. All to take out 3rd world gunmen hiding in caves in the desert. Very efficient.

Wow, you're stupid. You think Russia and China are hiding in caves? LMAO.

LOL you think this thing was built to fight Russia and China?!

It was built to fight enemies. Present and future. Do you think it was built for fun? You're dumb. Emojis are for children. Grow the F*CK up.

What happened to the Space Force?

Is he expecting Mars to pay for it ?

Yes our military budget and the number of bases we keep active around the world are absurd

Just Eurofags like you. Man up and stop allowing Islamist extremists to run your country.

 

[Darkwind]

Lots and lots of goodies. But, where the hell are they going to get the people to operate it?


How will it be spent?

Not only will the force be expanded with 16,400 additional active-duty and reserves and a 2.6 percent pay raise be introduced, there will be a mega-boost in cutting-edge tech to help ensure the United States continues to dominate in land, sea and air power.

93 F-35 fifth generation fighter jets

58 UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters

66 AH-64 Apache helicopters

13 V-22 Osprey aircraft

$1.5 billion in M1 Abrams tank enhancements

3 DDG-51 Guided-Missile Destroyers (Arleigh-Burke class)

2 Virginia-Class submarines

Littoral Combat Ship (the LCS)

Hypersonic Weapons

All the details @ $674 billion of tanks, fighter jets, subs and more to boost US military power in 2019

I actually have a problem with this.

They don't need additional forces -- manpower -- but better training of the cyber forces we have as well as better spending on remote theater operations.

Plus they need to find and eliminate about 400m in waste, fraud, and abuse.

I am tickled that the Trump dick suckers are so happy about the increase in spending. Usually when we are not fighting a war, we spend less on defense. In the Bizarro word of Trump..the opposite is true.

How about we stop sending money to every Tom Dick and Harry nation on earth? We'll just keep 4 trillion dollars where it should be, here in the USA

We'll pull our bases out of England too....then instead of you assholes skimping you can pay full price for your own safety

Gee, another Trump initiative that is going nowhere. We'll add that to the wall, the infrastructure bill, the replacement for healthcare, etc....

What you think doesn't really matter, we won and we control all three branches of government. You libs may want to consider emigrating to some communist country like China.

Remember when the military was at a post-Vietnam War low under Jimmy Carter? Then Reagan built it back-up again? Those were all good long term investments. Humvee, M1 Abrams tank, Blackhawk transport helicopter, Apache attack helicopter, and Bradley fighting vehicle are all still be used today. The Abrams and Apache are still the best in their class today.

Yeah thanks in large part to Reagan we've spent trillions of dollars to blow up caves in Middle Eastern deserts.

And the right will love the extra spending, and then complain about Obamacare costing a little more (when actually it didn't, but hey.)

If only it were limited to the right. The Left loves war spending just as much, then claims Medicare for all is too expensive.

Both parties are corporatists. They do the bidding of their donors, the ruling class.

Of course. But very few people think like us.

...and yet it is so apparent.

Yes, well. I've noticed that people have a certain tendency to bury their heads in the sand and "believe" something convenient.

Pets, alcohol, sports, drugs, TV, these are some of the ways people use to avoid reality like the plague.

Even people who come onto a forum like this seem to be trying to avoid reality, which is weird seeing how they're actively seeking out politics.
