Also, we all know about who got Bin Laden, and it sure as hell wasn't a regiment of Marines or Army grunts.
There's nothing wrong with being ready for a ground war with a large enemy army, but our enemy is different these days. Our military needs to be a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.
Romney's comments about strengthening the military stem directly from a need to have the military industrial complex humming so rich people can get richer. There's not a single concern about what is actually needed to keep us safe in the age of Islamic terrorism.

Who is the enemy? Pick from, guys in huts, caves. N. Korea is a possible, Russians who want to sell you what they have. Chinese who have to sell you what they have. EU, S. Americans.
He lives in the past, like so many in the World. If WW3 comes, it will be missiles from ships, subs and land based, guided bombs from planes. Which the US has enough of to take out anyone except those who want Americans to buy their goods.
Spend some of the $663.84 on creating a better, more fuel efficient engine the World will buy and create jobs in the US. Or Solar Panels, computer chips, better hard drives, faster what ever it is that runs my computer,
Invent more things like Teflon, Velcro or something else we all use every day of our lives and repay the debt.
