Re: POTUS 45.0: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
Actually, at face value, that would be THE reason to increase the standing army/etc. Hunker down and basically tell anyone that is thinking of invading to give a second thought to that action.
I wouldn't mind cutting some federal spending, but I'd think the bloated military is the place to start cutting, not expanding it while cutting elsewhere. Especially given all the promises to stop providing defense for other countries and whatnot. If we're withdrawing from the world, why increase the standing army?
