Not really, the way that Congress allocates defense spending is based on funneling money to their donors and their districts and often not what is best for the military or even what the military is asking for. For at least the last 30 years there have been times where military leaders wanted to close bases but Congress wouldn’t allow them because of the civilians in their districts who would lose jobs. Not to mention that military leaders have been preaching for years that the current and growing US debt is an existential risk.
