Not since we entered the nuclear age, now it’s about strategic deterents and soft power not actually military power. Especially post Vietnam showing it doesn’t matter how strong the force is against a determined and ingrained insurgent force.
Reguardless if that was actually the case its still a massive example of the Democrats shift to more right-wing policies. Especially when its taking away from actually improving the country.
Maintaining nuclear assets and a technological advantage requires money.
Maintaining the ability to actually project power overseas requires money.
Both of these are a key part of American deterrence strategy. Its not a left/right policy to fund the military. Its about why you’re funding it and the dems were funding it for the goal of maintaining global security which is a left wing liberal idea. You can’t put your head in the sand and ignore geo politics.
And here we are exactly showing the rachet effect, its entirely a right wing position to continually increase funding for the military. Especially when its clearly just being used to increase profits for defense companies not safety.
You do realise that a strong military is widely agreed to be the biggest thing that deters wars. Especially between super powers.

Soft power is much more important these days.
