proud to be a combat vet can easily just be marketing… imagine where you’d get in the US if you said you were ashamed of your military service… you’d get eviscerated

He's saying he wants to run the military better.

do you think the US military needs all the funding it has?

if you think it could do with less, then perhaps you and he agree: that there could be some places to make the US military reduce waste for example

making it “run better” doesn’t necessarily mean expanding it and giving it more

His platform is to take money from pmcs, good, but instead of using it to improve citizens lives use it to expand the military...

Stop coping already. He doesn't want to defund it.

You mean like his claim he didn't know what his Nazi tattoo meant?
