Army chief Gen. Mark Milley had just warned the House Armed Services Committee that if Congress punts on a new defense budget at the end of this month, it will result in American deaths on the battlefield.

Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., cut off the general during his answers and argued that lawmakers should not have to approve new war funding without details on how it will be spent.

"General, where is the war plan for ISIS? You were told to have it done in 30 days," Garamendi said.

Milley declined to discuss what he said is classified information on military operations. But he told the congressman the ISIS plan was handed up the military chain of command to Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Kudos to Harambe’s tailor.

And...we waited for eight years for an Obama/Biden/Clinton war plan to defeat ISIS, and never received one!!! Trump has done more in 72 days in office then Obama did in eight years!!! And...to boot, if a Democrat comes from California, he or she is minus a functioning brain, unless they are defending illegal alien murderers and drug dealers!!!

D.C. Democrats are pure evil. They all appear to be nothing but deranged, America hating scum.

Funny, they never questioned Obama and Hillary giving the terrorists Sarin Gas.

"General, where is the war plan for ISIS? You were told to have it done in 30 days," Garamendi said. "I promised Susan and Barry they would have it by the end of the week."

muslims are NAZIS!

I mean, look at the similarities: kill or enslave non-believers (Christians, agnostics, Mormons, Apostolic Divines, and you... (non-Nazi, non-muslim - whoever you are)

Let us just label them as NAZIS and make life simple for Western Civilization. (The only real civilization)

BTW, learn Russian if you want to have a next generation...

We have planes falling out of the sky, we have oxygen systems that don’t work, we are scavenging parts from airplane boneyards, we have war mongers like McCain and Petersen shaking their fists demanding war war war, and this monster wants to know what we do with the money?

Don’t fall for the BS. The DOD has more than enough money. They just waste half of it. I’d say that they could simply cashier half the Generals and Admirals and then make Army, AF and Navy top brass cope with USMC budgets. That’d stem the gap.

FTA: details on how it will be spent.

Dear John: “It will be used to kill the enemy”
