budget reductions and real debates about our military spending.

Even if we never update our military, our military will be the best in the world for years.

Besides, most of those technologies are out of date. And, the plan allows for replacement of needed equipment.

If you read my post on this, many military leaders see no use for submarines and carriers are no longer needed. That is unless you want to have airfields outside of nations that don't want us there. Do we really want to go bankrupt trying to defend the world.

Your arguments are rehashes of the 1950 cold war thinking and could us retrofitting.

On think I like about the plan is that they account for new technologies and modernization. You fail to do that. Thanks.
