Does the United States spend too much or too little on national defense? That was the question the Gallup polling organization posed to Americans in February. That survey revealed a roughly even split between those who say U.S. military spending is “too much,” those who think we spend “too little” and those who think it’s “about right.”
As a strong advocate for a robust defense, and therefore a close observer of the debate over defense spending, I know that’s only part of the question. The top line number for defense spending is important, but there’s another question we must be asking: Given what the United States spends on defense, are we getting the most for our investment? And the answer to that question is, unfortunately, no.
