Perspective I heard recently that I've never really understood: GOP congressman bloviating about increasing military spending in order to project American power to keep us safe ? Isn't the current military already a sufficient deterrent? What about the actual invasion going on?

I would understand increasing military spending if it meant we could go pillage and plunder other countries to our own benefit. I fail to see what we're getting out of it all now, but the GOP establishment constantly talks about the importance in this way.

Don't underestimate the continued pervasiveness of the Cold War mindset among the people controlling the security apparatus. The average member of Congress is 60 years old and the leadership skews much older than that.
