Arguments
That sounds good in theory but we can't depend on other countries to do the right thing.We are the only superpower in the world and with that comes great responsibilities.
Counterarguments
Our United States military is the most respected fighting force in the world and a strong national defense must be our first priority in an uncertain world. Uniformed services modernization through research and development on new programs, an increase in numbers for the special forces, equipment replacement and personnel development combined with a troop return from our two active war zones will allow us to rebuild and restore our military.
