    I’ve heard this line before.

    How far do you think she would have gotten if she said “we need like a C- tier fighting force?”

    Literally every president in my lifetime, and basically since we had a standing army, has talked about how strong our military should be.

    Considering that almost none of them (with one very notable exception) started a war with Iran, equating a strong military with a desire to attack Iran seems far-fetched.
