during the recession

if you dont have a working sub, then it wont go to patrol

Instead the reserve forces went up

You still have the same number of manpower

just lesser payments

reserves isnt the same as an active member of the armed forces

go to the military for a day and then come back please.

and you need to understand that cybersecurity in military got slashed more than actual military

and looked where that got us

which goes under DOD

you slash military, but military still remains the greater portion of government upkeep

it's like trying to take $10k away from a family that makes $200k/year

compared to taking $5k away from a family that makes $40k/year

your point being?

trump reverted the spending cuts

and increased it way more than what should be increased (according to inflation and gdp proportion wise)

So the US doing military cuts is a joke

and do you have any idea WHY he did that?

inform me

China.

which despite the spending cuts that obama did

USA was still #1

It's not because of China

It's more likely there are secret projects involved that the public does not know

involving all countries than just CHina

you do know that every war simulator run by the Pentagon shows rn that without nukes, US would get beaten up in the pacific?

beaten up in the pacific

by who?

China?

yes

they have that capability

and what are they gonna invade

hawaii?

midway island?

no need for that if you take the philipines, Korea and Japan

implying that wont incite a UN backlash

especially with the US saying hey india

you know how u hate china and all

why dont u shit down their rivers and kill millions

and try to invade china in the fucking mountains with no roads

good luck
