Last month, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) released videos of not just one, but two new sixth-generation aircraft. And while the US Air Force was not surprised by this development, it is my sincere hope that this got America’s attention and serves as a wakeup call, because we need the nation’s assistance advancing the Air Force with the sense of strategic urgency this moment requires.

With the character of war changing before our eyes, it is more important than ever to provide the airpower America’s joint forces need to deter conflict and win the fight if called upon. But that’s easier said than done, because our service lacks the required funding and resources, even as the potential for near-term conflict grows.

In short, America needs more Air Force and it needs it now.

It will cost money, so the general has to make a decision.  Does he want money for the AF and national defense, or does he want to give the money to 12 - 14 million illegal immigrants for living in 5 star hotels, medical care, food, transportation, cell phones, education, and spending money knowing full well democrats will chastise him unmercifully in the media for choosing defending America?

I believe that building up our military again is going to be a priority for the Trump administration. More aircraft and navy ships are needed, but won't rebuilding take quite a bit of time??
