US military has never, ever cried for funding since they already have massive funding. This is a common misconception.You forgot US got quite a few SSGNs? Plus Chinese AShBM hasn’t been proven in combat. I would take crying for more funding type reports from the Pentagon with a huge grain of salt
The US military has more than they know what to do with at times as proven here:
Instead it's the opposite, the US military always overestimates themselves because the perception of invincible strength is actually what gets them funding - if their strength was to be questioned by Congress, their mission would shrink and they'd get less money commensurate with their reduced mission.
Of course they believe their bluff will never be called because they will never fight an enemy with even half US GDP.
