In the complex world we live in, having a strong military is crucial for maintaining peace. It's like the old saying goes, "If you want peace, prepare for war. " This doesn't mean we should seek fights, but rather be ready to defend ourselves.

Our military isn't what it used to be. Many of our planes are older than the people flying them, and our nuclear missiles are over 50 years old. We have fewer ships and soldiers than we did during the Cold War. To negotiate from a position of strength, we need to invest more in our military.

Even though our defense budget is still the largest in the world, it's a smaller part of our economy than it used to be. Back in the Cold War, we spent nearly 10% of our GDP on defense. Now, it's less than 3%.

President Donald Trump has been a big supporter of rebuilding our military. He's increased the defense budget and pushed our allies to do the same. He's also focused on advanced technology, like creating the Space Force.

But it's not just about money. We need skilled people too. Our military is short on both active duty and civilian personnel. We've had trouble meeting recruiting targets, and many skilled workers are retiring.

Our potential enemies, like Russia and China, are building up their militaries and developing new weapons. Russia has hypersonic missiles, and China has more ships in the Pacific than we do.

So, who should lead our military's rebuild? The choice is clear. Donald Trump has shown he's committed to making our military strong again.
