Decrease, current spending should be adjusted by reducing wasteful spending to ensure the budget is spent more wisely. Also, some of the budget should be reallocated towards those that need more funding, such as social programs, education, healthcare, etc.

Military spending increase or decrease is irrelevant. Spending needs to be more accountably efficient, subject to more IG staff for different aspects of the military, but the VA in particular.

 @8ZSR5NL from GU answered…2yrs2Y

Increase to maintain a strong national defense, and/or if there is a problem that we need to respond to ongoing conflicts/emergency situations. But current spending should be adjusted by reducing wasteful spending to ensure the budget is spent more wisely, and provide our troops with better pay and benefits.

Eliminating corruption in the military industrial complex will make spending more efficient.

 @92S34SB from California answered…2yrs2Y

Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending, but decrease the Pentagon budget in half. The budget for the Pentagon is called defense spending while the budget for the military is called military spending. This is why they are different and this is my opinion.

Increase Decrease Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced

Increase when necessary to maintain strong national defense, but current budget should be adjusted by eliminating wasteful spending as well as wasteful projects, and cutting most foreign bases and operations in order to reduce our presence from other nations.

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…2yrs2Y

Increase, and better prioritize mental health. Often, military members' psychiatrists are told not to diagnose them with conditions they have, because then the government would be required to pay to help them with the disorder, and the budget isn't big enough for that.
