Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Although I dont exactly have the passage I can use fact. Military spending jumped exponentially after 9/11 and especially with the launch of Operation Enduring Freedom. Also, more people joined the military at this time. 9/11 also has historically been seen as a day of unity in the United States, and was a day when people of all groups and races came together to take a stance against terror. In the longer run, we have maintained presence in Southeast Asian countries, and we continue to spend around $600 billion in military spending. Hope this helps!
