Some people's idea of defense is sorta like an Italian walking down the street with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in his sleeve looking at people saying "Hey, you looking at me? You wanna fight? Right now, make a move."
People want a president that will kick @$$ when the need arises. Reagan did not look like an aggressive man, but they knew he would defend us against all comers.
China is building a huge deep water navy, they are a threat, Russia is not our friend as Putin wants the USSR back. Iran's leaders have a death wish. the Saudis don't like us.
Our way of life is unique in history and it goes against the grain of the Oligarchies & strong-man style of governments in most other countries, regardless of what they call themselves. I think people know that and they want a leader willing to defend us.
