Conceptually, I'm not opposed to having a powerful military for defense of your own borders and those of allies. It's a scary world and there are some bad people in positions of power out there.
I am highly opposed to defunding cancer research so we can blow up schools full of small children without any real cause or reason.
Sure there is : Trump had the feeling they might be a threat (and plenty of minors to ask how good he is at feeling)
But a peaceful military does not exist. Once you increase spending for it to a relevant portion of the national budget, you need to use it to make the economy happy.
