We’re spending only $391 per person on defence while the rest of the world is putting in $865, and that’s why we’re 55% below them—it’s laughable when you’ve got threats staring us in the face. We don’t need to beg for scraps; raising it to $820 per person is just common sense, not some wild idea, so we stop being the laughingstock of our peers.
