That's not even the best comparison. Suppose that the Navy is considering whether to build two aircraft carriers or three. Everyone agrees that at least two will be built. The leadership wants two, so they bring that bill up first. Senator Warmonger wants to build three, so he votes against the bill for two, so that it will fail and he can get a vote on the bill for three. Only a moron would accuse Senator Warmonger in these circumstances of being anti-defense spending.
