I think we are waaay over on Subs now, and still building more.

Disagree Bill, the Tomahawk is an awesome weapon. And the submarine force has been reduced significantly in the past 15 years. We haven't been building enough to replace the subs going into mothball.

We need to build more. The advantage we have in undersea warfare capability is as great as our advantage in air-warfare, and we shouldn't lose either one.

Subs are doing all kinds of things which supported the Iraq war and other endeavors around the world, they simply don't get any publicity.

We're definitely spending to much on the fighters. I would like to see a upgrade of our aging bomber fleet and an increase in military personnel and their pay.

A few 154 tomahawk subs sitting off of NK and Iran ready to wipe out their nuclear and command and control structures sounds like a good investment to me too. :^)
