The reason that it is important to increse military funding is that:
1) It provides tax payers (you and me) a leg to stand on when negotiating with large multinationals accumulating their own armies.
2) It allows for research into highly technical areas that otherwise would not receive funding based on their unapproachability to the common invividual.
3) Increased military funding creates a sense of belonging to a global community that is well armed and holds credence in military power as a basis for negotiation.
4) Increased military funding creates scientific discovering that are useful for everyday consumers (the Internet for instance)
5) Increased military funding protects Canadians from becoming indebted to their creditors, enabling our nation to achieve stability in times when our economy may not be bourgeoning.
y-wis there are indeed others, as wel as valuable counter points.
