Quote: Decline, WHAT decline??? Decline in common sense when we've just watched our main enemy bankrupt itself in defense against a paranoid fantasy and we continue to do the same, even worse? That's the the only decline I see and it's getting worse every day. - John

I think you may miss the point that all this military power the U.S. possesses may no longer be what is really needed to keep America from decline as a world power. You cannot fight a currency battle with a nuclear submarine. We are losing (some say "have lost") the trade war to China and they don't have near the sophisticated weapons we do. A stealth bomber loses some of its value when we have to borrow money from adversaries in order to build it.

We are declining from within due to reckless entitlement spending, not because we do not adequately fund the military, as it seems you say.
