Training, equipment, and technology all require funding to ensure that the military is prepared to respond to any threat or crisis. A decrease in the budget could result in a decline in the military's effectiveness and ability to carry out its missions.

often said that drones are extremely intelligent machines, they can also be extremely dangerous and deadly. There are certain rules that apply when in use of these U.S. military drones.

(Divine, 1981) This theory was used by many presidents as the reason for ongoing support to the effort in Indochina. After World War II, the French began
nation run by popular vote is a comfortable enough idea, but in the case of the United States, a self-governed population threatens to destroy itself and possibly the world through wasteful spending, unregulated pursuit of profits, and a blotted military budget. The United States of America, more than any other nation on earth, squanders its wealth on extremely impracticable endeavors. One example is drug regulation. State and federal institutions spend billions of dollars annually to keep recreational
