Everyone who argues for more military funding (or indeed any military budget above $250 per citizen) is making conclusions from counterfactual propositions.
The last time the USA was attacked on its own soil by a ragtag group of foreign nationals was blowback 25 years ago; the last time it was attacked on its own soil by any remotely comparable foreign army was 85 years ago; the last time it was invaded and occupied by a foreign army was 210 years ago; all of these had a death toll much lower than when the USA split and fought itself.
No American sovereignty, nor any American's freedoms are jeopardized by a foreign power. In this world, all you really need to do to maintain self-rule is to make it prohibitively expensive for someone to invade (and possibly occupy) you. The world is about to witness yet another data point to this truth.
