In the news article “Bomb Voyage” by Tom Collina and Will Saetren, It says that the United states has the highest paid military in the world. The U.S spends 875 billion on the military including veterans’ affairs. With what is going on in this world it’s like we need to raise the military budget because we could be getting in a war and we wouldn't even know it. Our military wants to get with the newer technology and start rebuilding and maintain our nuclear arsenal. Along with the Air Force they want to build 100 newer planes that cost 550 million each just so we could get farther on the technology.
In the next 30 years the U.S is planning on spending 1 trillion dollars to maintain the nuclear arsenal. If the budget doesn't go up then how are they going to do this. Another thing the military can do with the money …show more content…

People have said that if we cut the military budget in half we could put that money towards things that could also help the country and the military. For the past 25 years there has been no army, navy, or air force in the world that comes close to matching its American counterpart in terms of either its powerness on the battlefield or the size of its budget. We should keep it that way and continue to spend quite a bit on the military. Without a military this country wouldn't be how it is

The U.S government should raise the budget just a little higher every year just so the military can get what it needs. There is more things the military needs to do to keep it one of the best. Without a good military the United States wouldn't even be like how it is now. Even though there is stuff the government can spend money on, our main focus should be our military because of the possible war that could be coming up.
