Strongly agree
Increase
Harry S. Truman was a strong advocate for a robust military. He oversaw the end of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War, during which he implemented policies that increased military spending, such as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. However, he might not fully agree with unrestricted increase, hence the score is not a full 5.

Agree
Increase, but only after our deficit is drastically reduced
While Truman did increase military spending during his presidency, he was also concerned about the nation's economy and deficit. He might agree with the idea of increasing military spending after reducing the deficit, but his actions during his presidency suggest that he would prioritize military spending over deficit reduction.

Disagree
Neither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending
Truman's presidency was marked by an increase in military spending, suggesting that he would not be satisfied with maintaining the current level of spending. However, he might not be completely opposed to this idea, hence the score is not a full -5.

Strongly disagree
Decrease
Given Truman's policies during his presidency, it is unlikely that he would support a decrease in military spending. His administration was marked by a significant increase in military spending due to the Cold War and the Korean War.
