NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act, the defense budget, the military’s budget.

It is part of the yearly PB (Presidents Budget) submission to congress.

"NDAA is the National Defense Authorization Act, the defense budget, the military’s budget."

Not quite. The National Defense Appropriations. Act would be the budget. Each year if the process is working normally, the policy objectives established by Congress end up in the Authorization Act and the money gets allocated via the Appropriations Act. A lot of stupidity makes its way into both, but the Authorizations Act is typically both more dangerous and a direct break on some of the political social experiments that might otherwise occur without oversight.

I’m pretty sure everyone already knows that. The legislation contained within the NDAA over the last few years is what’s got folks up in arms.
