Republicans don't just wrap themselves in the flag and have gushing praise for the military because of patriotism (look at all the chickenhawks) it's because they want money for their states. The majority of our large military installations are in the South and protecting those areas means $$$$. But of course we need them - the Mexicans could invade you know and that Spanish Armada could just pop back up at any time.
