Those in Uniform Past and Present Want More Spent on Defense
Regardless of who wins the presidential election in 2016, Americans who are currently serving or have previously served in the armed forces hope he or she raises military spending.

More Americans will be home this year for Thanksgiving, a holiday they still attach a lot of importance to.
Many people naturally assume that since I work in political journalism, I must breathe, drink and eat politics 24/7/365 -- including on the Thanksgiving holiday.
Why, dirty Americans, do you hate people from exotic, war-torn places? Why do you despise other cultures? Why do you so hate freedom of religion?
What might have happened if a few of the 1,500 concert attendees in Paris' Bataclan theater had guns? The terrorists had time to kill, reload and kill again. The police unit didn't come for more than a half hour. If a few people in the theater were armed, might they have killed the killers?
Americans will have their eyes open this Thanksgiving holiday with the threat of terrorism in the air. A lot fewer plan to travel, too.
One-in-three Americans plan on braving the crowds of holiday shoppers this Friday, but a sizable number still hopes to spend less on gifts this holiday season.
Americans are shopping at a faster pace this holiday season than they have in the past several years.
In Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the 2015 holiday season, 43% of American Adults say they have started their gift shopping. Fifty-four percent (54%) have not.
It is amazing how many different ways the same thing can be said, creating totally different impressions. For example, when President Barack Obama says that defeating ISIS is going to take a long time, how is that different from saying that he is going to do very little, very slowly? It is saying the same thing in different words.
Each of our two political parties, ancient by world standards, seems to be facing a gathering storm.
As the international effort to eliminate the radical Islamic State group (ISIS) intensifies, voters here are less skeptical of Russia’s involvement.
Confidence in the direction of the country has fallen back in the first full-week survey since the terror attacks in Paris.
Twenty-five percent (25%) of Likely U.S. Voters now think the country is heading in the right direction, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey for the week ending November 20.
Despite the recent horrific terrorist attacks in Paris, voters here aren’t ready to take the lead in the fight against the radical Islamic State group (ISIS), but they’re close to a formal declaration of war.
Americans aren’t happy with President Obama’s response to the recent massacres in Paris by radical Islamic terrorists but feel even more strongly that prominent Muslims need to speak out against these atrocities.
When it comes to politics, Americans are idiots.
President Obama is at odds with the American people again this week.
President Obama, Hillary Clinton and other senior Democrats refuse to say America is at war with “radical Islamic terrorism” for fear of insulting all Muslims, but voters beg to disagree.
Three days after the Islamic State terrorist attacks in Paris, Americans were primed to hear their president express heartfelt anger, which he did in his press conference in Antalya, Turkey, at the end of the G-20 summit. And they did hear him describe ISIS as "this barbaric terrorist organization" and acknowledge that the "terrible events in Paris were a terrible and sickening setback."
Deray McKesson, the professional agitator whose racial rabble-rousing began at tax-subsidized Teach for America, proudly unveiled his new enterprise on the Internet Thursday: A website chronicling "THE DEMANDS" of his radical brothers and sisters on college campuses across Northern America.
"We recently launched http://thedemands.org which compiles the college demands from across the country," he tweeted. "Check it out."
Has Donald Trump's tough response to the massacres in Paris helped him regain some lost ground?
