Scrapping the Industrial Age Military

This is my new article for Opinion Editorials:

The most obvious solution for our over-stretched military budget would be to increase spending. Only with a drastic boost of funds can America produce the appropriate number of fighters, tanks, and new warships, which the Pentagon says it needs to continue the Global War on Terror. Some say as much as $600 billion a year could be spent without an undue strain on the economy, though with extra funds needed to rebuild war-torn Iraq and billions required to restore the hurricane-damaged Gulf States, it is questionable where the money would come from.
