If the military is to show the capabilities that we demand and expect of it, then the defense budget has to continue to rise.
Investing in military capabilities is a complex balance between ensuring national security and managing economic resources. While increasing the defense budget may enhance military readiness and technological advancement, it also raises concerns about cost-effectiveness and opportunity costs related to other public services. Strategic planning should prioritize efficiency and innovation to maximize effectiveness within available resources. Ultimately, a sustainable approach that values both defense and social investments will contribute to long-term national stability and prosperity.
