I'm saying I don't think you have a clue about where the military budget goes, what goes into determining the force structure, or what effects various geopolitical machinations have on preparations for the security of this country. You appear to be spouting talking points from anti-military sources.
My talking points are from Eisenhower, Smedley Butler, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson etc. It's not anti military to say we could survive only spending 3x as much as the next guy or to suggest we can probably survive with only 6 super carriers.
Also don't pretend like you're talking about defending the US mainland, that could be done with a 400 billion dollar budget. You're talking about maintaining global military hegemony. Don't conflate the two.
