It's rhetoric. And people are genuinely uninformed. I've met people in America (I assume they were just plain Jane racists) who accused Obama of decimating the military budget and turning the American military into pussies.
So the Rep candidates talk about upping the military budget and people lap it up.
Stumbled across this article today regarding the debate. While the Reps debate how to keep America safe, they don't even mention guns. Well, they do three times I suppose:

"keeping America safe," candidates mentioned guns a total of three times — twice by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a long-shot moderate, and once by Jeb Bush, when he said, "America is under the gun to lead the free world, to protect our civilized way of life."
