We currently spend more on defense than the next 11 countries combined.Russia and China are still trying to catch up to 5 generation jets that we have had for years.We have multiple new ships and Subs under construction.How much more do you want to spend on "a stronger military" which is already the best and most funded in the world by far?
Military has been decimated. The next 11 countries don't protect the rest of the world. Ever wonder why the dollar is the world's reserve currency? It's because we protect the world. Take that away and the dollar and our ability to borrow go with it.--Izzy
So you want to spend more money to protect the rest of the world?
Spending is around the same now as it was under Bush /Chaney.Every country on this planet can only dream of having our decimated military.
The US needs better quality leadership and a more streamlined system. How many trillions of hard earned dollars has the US wasted in The Middle East in recent years and made nothing but a lot of angry people.
Wasting money on a beefed up military ? Rubbish.
Change the outdated crappy system first. Made in the 18th century and hasn't evolved much since.

Richard Branson weighs in:

(Be sure to watch the brief video.)
Richard Branson, the British billionaire and founder of the Virgin Group, said he is terrified of the thought of Donald Trump becoming president of the United States because of "how dangerous it was to have somebody so vindictive in the White House."
In an interview airing Tuesday on "Erin Burnett Outfront," Branson said he first met Trump years ago for lunch and that Trump focused on five people who refused to help him after his company filed for bankruptcy.
Branson said Trump "spent the rest of his lunch telling me how he was going to spend the rest of his life destroying those five people," which Branson found "very bizarre."
Branson said he felt no choice but to speak out about the meeting to "let people who believe that Trump is wonderful know that there is a side to Trump that is dangerous and rather unpleasant and certainly unforgiving."
"I think one day it would be wonderful to have an entrepreneur running the White House. But not this entrepreneur," Branson said.
Branson also said that there are numerous things Trump has said that make him and other Republicans he knows "squirm." He said he knows a lot of entrepreneurs and business leaders that one would expect to be Republican, but "with almost one voice, they are very disturbed and very frightened" at the idea of having Trump in charge.
"The unpredictability of the person I think would unsettle the markets," he said.
The British billionaire also thinks that Trump's campaign has hurt the Trump brand.
"I don't think he is a great businessman," Branson said.
Branson contended that "he's appealing to the worst fears in people, and I would say his brand has been very badly damaged." He said Trump won't go hungry, but "his brand is very, very different today than it was six months ago."
Branson said he has not spoken with Trump recently, but by speaking out, "if he gets into the White House, I'm sure I'll be one of the many people on his list that he'll be out to destroy."

Wow, the US media got to him, too.
; )
Yeah, it now seems that even independently minded self-made billionaires (the real kind) are not immune to the evil ways of the MSM. Thank goodness for ET's gaggle of Alt Rightsters and their single-minded effort to let the rest of us know what's what.
We could get hundreds of the Clinton's enemies to weigh in on what the Clintons are like.
If they were still alive.
