Conservatives like to complain about "Big Government," but despite lower government spending than many peer nations, America is less prosperous and less free...
It's fairly common for people to argue that the military is one of the few essential roles of government. "The government should protect us from invasion and then stay out of the way" is a pretty coherent philosophy even if it would be a disaster in practice. I'm guessing that's why she didn't even bother with it.
The military is definitely too big a can of worms in this video. You can go into how the govt does not actually defend America but rather enforces American market supremacy and topples leftist governments, but it would take a whole lot more deprogramming to not say "yeah that's good."

Good point. The 5 minute format comes with compromises i guess, it would have taken too long to tackle that argument

True, that deserves a video of it's own
