TL;DR: all the experts say “yes”.

I don’t have a strong opinion on the topic, but my non-expert opinion is “probably not”. It would have been outright “no” before reading this article, but some of those arguments were actually persuasive.

It isn’t that I want a weak military, it’s that I see so many priorities the government can be spending on and defense still isn’t at the top of that list for me.
