Hell yes. Although to one politicians credit, when I had a one one one chat with them a few years back they completely agreed with the idea of assigning the necessary resources (financial and manpower) to the military, but was hamstrung by the expectations of the voters. Many politicians know what's needed, but also know it's political suicide to actually DO it!
