Per General Mattis to Congress in 2013
"If you don't fund the State Department fully then I need to buy more ammunition so I think it's a cost benefit". "The more that we put into the State Department's diplomacy hopefully the less we have to put into a Military budget...". Trump wants to reduce the budget from $50.1 billion to $36.1 billion. So are YOU happy to swap more bullets for less diplomacy as Trump seems to indicate floats his boat? Why?
