Should Congress fully fund US military before sending military aid to other nations?

We gave huge aid to Israel and Ukraine- billions of $, yet my State is canceling soldiers school seats due to “lack of available funding”, and if not on a certain status, home station AT now required per NGB. Training and readiness are critical to our preparedness. Should we not ensure our forces are FULLY funded first??

the DOD budget is fast approaching 1 trillion dollars and out of the top 11 countries ranked by defense spending we spend more than the next 10 countries together. So how much are should we spend? The US spends 498.6 million dollars more than Russia and China combined. Again. How much more should we spend.

Not saying we should spend more Saying we should fund our military priorities first, and ensure we have what is needed before funding billions in aid
