A new survey conducted by The Hill newspaper has found the majority of Democratic presidential candidates back increasing the size of the military. Last month, Senator Barack Obama called for an increase in Pentagon spending and an extra 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 marines. Senators Hillary Clinton and Joseph Biden and former Senator John Edwards have also backed building a larger military. The Hill reports that only two Democratic candidates — New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson and Congressman Dennis Kucinich — are openly discussing cutting the Pentagon’s budget.
