If we are behind, that means we must give this general and his team more funds! Billions and trillions!
Government bureaucracy and standing armies are antithetical to freedom, and to winning wars. Wait to build weapons till they are needed or you just will build weapons to fight the last war.
The problem with that is, weapons programs take a year or several to ramp up. If you don't build weapons until they're needed, then on the day the war starts, you have no weapons. That's not going to go well.
