Do you know how much of that military spending will go to fixing problems that are decades old?

That doesn't justify spending more as a percentage of our GDP on the military than the USA who spends more than the next 10 or something states combined. I'm not giving up nationalized health care because Donald fucking Trump wants to shake down NATO and make Canada spend 30% of it's national budget on American arms.

Cool.

With that rant you have shown tou don't understand how badly our military has been neglected.

Your mindset only works if the US is actually friendly.

And, we have been shopping elsewhere for new military equipment.

Keep up.

30% of the budget. Certainly the end of nationalized health care. That's worth it to you?

And if you think the US won't engage in the sorts of tactics it currently is engaging in to demand we spend more of our military budget on them then you are mistaken.
