It’s understandable that defense allocations can spark debate, especially with such a significant investment like the $3 billion pledge for additional fighter jets. While enhancing our defense capabilities is crucial, it’s also important to evaluate where our resources can have the most substantial impact. For instance, investing in cybersecurity, upgrading existing military infrastructure, or enhancing veteran support services may address pressing vulnerabilities and improve overall national security. Balancing modern needs with traditional defense measures is essential, and I think a comprehensive review of our defense strategy should guide where our funds are best allocated. What do you think should take priority?
