Of course you have to be ready for the threat when you're training and arming the threat. Trump increased the spendIt also requires that we be prepared to meet the threats of tomorrow. Trump made many attempts at reducing the cost of equipment i.e. his discussions with Boeing. I am a for military spending.
You don't get car insurance because you expect to wreck. You get it in case you wreck. You don't buy a gun just because you want to shot somebody. You buy it in case you have to shoot someone.
It is commonly known the Obama/Biden administration let our cache of weapons and equipment age, and spending slowed in comparison to other government programs.
Now if you are just going to give it to the Taliban then it's malfeasance.
You're simply for spending. No need for the qualifier
