Harper cut military spending.   Further he made stealth cuts by denying budgeted spending to departments such as VA.

If you look at recent history, you would learn that military spending declined under both Conservative AND Liberal Govts.    After years of decline, spending increased when Martin was Finance Minister - a dividend of balancing the budget.   (note:  Truly balancing the budget, not the fake "balance" of Harper).

But it's a complete myth that military spending under Harper was adequate or close to what he and his spokespeople lied to Canada about.     In fact, Harper's military commitment was "NATO":   "No Action, Talk Only"
