Politics aside, does Active Duty Military like Trump Administration’s contributions to strengthening US Military?

Very good article.
I think most will recall how the Milt. was allowed to be depleted to the point planes, for example, were grounded due to the lack of spare parts. I guess Obama did not care that much about Nat'l. Defense or meeting our other defense commitments overseas.

You need to consider National Guard and Reserve units also. They also are being upgraded

Sorry, didn’t mean to leave out any active units. I said “Active Duty” as opposed to veterans like myself who don’t see the actual machinations of any upgrades to military.

It is a challenge to keep resourcing the current wars and global war on terror; and preparing for peer militaries. If countries have the budget they will work on new weapons systems based on new techonogy and doctrine. The China has no wars to fight. It will focus its military and economic strength to increase their global footprint. IMO in this regard, we are playing catch up. If I was Russia and China I would support terrorism and insurgencies who are in conflict with us. We will expend vast resources fighting them.
