When military commanders complain about resources, they often are complaining about something completely different. History abounds in examples where seemingly inferior resources still delivered a win. The problem is less one of absolute resources, than of resource allocation; of priorities.
American officers are complaining about being resource constrained right now.
The Air Force complains to Fox News that they are short both parts and people, and can’t keep their jets flying. The Marine Commandant’s parallel whinging surfaced at the Washington Free Beacon.
We’ll stipulate that the other services have similar complaints. Is it resources, or is it priorities?

Yup!

ITEM: Sure, there’s no spare parts, no aircraft or ships, and definitely no concept of employing them if we had ’em, but no nation before has ever had such a well-illustrated DOD Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan [.pdf] (It contains the note that, “Preparation of this report/study cost the Department of Defense a total of approximately $570,000 in Fiscal Years 2012-2017.”)
LOL! The “barf alert” was aimed at all the sensitivity based “education” portion contained in the article.
I can recall when “resourses” were called “money”.
