Big military as small government?

Heritage Action for America will guarantee that when a wavering congressman thinks of voting for higher taxes, increased regulation, or a weaker national defense, television ads in his home district will remind him that a vote for bigger government is a vote for less freedom.

Strong national defense as small government? What cosmos do these guys inhabit?

And would “increased regulation” include trust-busting of those intolerable “too big to fail” banks and other businesses? Gee. I feel freer being held hostage by Megacorp already.
