Should Israel increase or decrease military spending?
Once we have some kind of negotiated peace, 2 state solution, hamas and Hezbollah are deferred, and assad the genocidal pro terrorist dictator is ousted. I think we can ease off some spending.
@9JX4QS32mos2MO
Neither, I am against the abusive IDF, but Hamas wants to kill Jews so they must defend themselves as well.
Drastically cut spending on veteran generals pension plans, and limit the army size to what's relevant.
@9C94GDLYisrael Beiteinu11mos11MO
Increase while decreasing funds from other fields who dont deserve as much money
@988SKYL1yr1Y
Military spending should vary depending on the current threats we are facing.
@973XWQD1yr1Y
Increase for combat foot soldiers
keeping to much traditional training who is not relevamt today or for a war (parachute jump for example)
Increase spending on essential units, on training and professionalism, lease out non-essential and non-emergency services to private contractors, such as non-stratigic logistics, food in bases, cleaning etc. Eliminate redundant professions and units.
@95YRDML2yrs2Y
Regardless, the military should distribute it's funding in a vastly different way
Not change the amount of spending, instead spend them in different more efficient ways, then decide whether spending should be increased or decreased.
@8TSBKKJ3yrs3Y
In times of strife increase in times of peace maintain
@8RC7BCD3yrs3Y
decrease and reallocate to other social programs.
@8QV64H3Yisrael Beiteinu3yrs3Y
Depends on regional geopolitical situation.

Increase it as much as possible.
@9425J2G2yrs2Y
Leave it but remove our troops from foreign hostile conflicts that are not threatening our countrys safety
@93ZQDBJ2yrs2Y
Cut out wasteful spending and/or use wasteful spending to increase salaries of military workers.
@93V5N7M2yrs2Y
Decrease, also remove the ability for representatives to have financial interests in the laws they pass laws about
@83Q4GLX2yrs2Y
Decrease and reallocate the current budgets.
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
Decrease, current spending should be adjusted by reducing wasteful spending to ensure the budget is spent more wisely. Also, some of the budget should be reallocated towards those that need more funding, such as social programs, education, healthcare, etc.
@93GXC372yrs2Y
Decrease, and put the money towards education and the homeless
@939HTNM2yrs2Y
Decrease, and perform audits of military spending to identify fraud, waste & abuse of tax-payers dollars
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Increase, but only after our deficit is eliminated
@938PWY62yrs2Y
Military spending increase or decrease is irrelevant. Spending needs to be more accountably efficient, subject to more IG staff for different aspects of the military, but the VA in particular.
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
Increase to maintain a strong national defense, and/or if there is a problem that we need to respond to ongoing conflicts/emergency situations. But current spending should be adjusted by reducing wasteful spending to ensure the budget is spent more wisely, and provide our troops with better pay and benefits.
@934R57G2yrs2Y
Respond to the current political situation.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Military expenditure should instead be used to arm and train every citizen.
@9323M4S2yrs2Y
Eliminating corruption in the military industrial complex will make spending more efficient.
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending, but decrease the Pentagon budget in half. The budget for the Pentagon is called defense spending while the budget for the military is called military spending. This is why they are different and this is my opinion.
@92TGGX92yrs2Y
If they even it out like spend some on military and then spend some on the environment
@92T6YGG2yrs2Y
I think that the government should just leave the same price we use.
@92P9ZPN2yrs2Y
decrease, we spend way too much money on the military
@92MDVFR2yrs2Y
Stabilize military spending and audit the current budget more meticulously. Bribery and kickbacks notoriously infiltrate military spending.
@92K4TZ82yrs2Y
Only in the time of need
@92JTPJR2yrs2Y
Increase certain branches at a time when it seems necessary. If they have what they need to operate, perfect.
@92HLYZH2yrs2Y
Increase, but only for branches that are currently underfunded.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Decrease slightly, as we're spending too much for too little.
@92DC4QR2yrs2Y
Decrease, and optimize that fund towards healthcare and other helpful resources for communities and such.
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
Military Spending should be scrutinized for waste and abuse, then adjusted accordingly.
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
Increase to maintain a strong national defense, and if there is a problem that we need to respond to ongoing conflicts/emergency situations. But current spending should be adjusted by eliminating wasteful spending to ensure the budget is spent more efficiently and appropriately, and provide troops with better pay and benefits.
