Army to Congress: Do your job so we can help Israel and Ukraine
Politico ^ | 10/09/2023 | PAUL MCLEARY and CONNOR O’BRIEN

The U.S. Army wants to help supply both its Ukrainian and Israeli allies with as many bombs and other equipment as they need in their separate wars.

But it can’t happen as long as Congress is in chaos. Pentagon leadership is still in the early stages of evaluating what Israel might need to battle Hamas militants, but an administration briefing to members of Congress laid out some early markers: air-to-ground bombs, and air defense systems.

But whatever Israel needs, those requests will run headlong into the dysfunction and uncertainty enveloping Capitol Hill, as the House grapples with selecting a new leader and both chambers race to avoid a government shutdown just weeks away.

I do feel sorry for members of the Army when bought off/paid lackeys in the upper echelons volunteer the voice of the ‘collective’ army to voice support for an illicit war in the Ukraine to help protect Biden and corrupt members of the DNC.

Decades of the executive branch declaring proxy wars around the globe but NOW it’s on Congress? I’m so disgusted by all of this.

Given the perfumed princes and brown-shoe pogues, not to mention the outright traitors, currently running things in the 5-sided building, nothing they say can be believed. And given the deliberate propaganda pushed by the democommie controlled media outlets, who don’t mind making things up when it suits them, none of this is believable.

These woke losers in the Pentagon need to STFU. When I write loser, I literally mean they are incapable of winning wars. It is not the business of the military to tell Congress anything. Congress is the representatives of the people and we, the people, are the boss of the military.

Related to this is my fear that they’ll somehow tie support of Israel to support of Ukraine.

I’m all for a strong military, but it’s not the Army’s job to declare wars or decide who the enemies are.

How about the US Army protects our US southern border, eh? Thats why we pay our fair share in taxes - some reciprocity, anyone?

Hey Army. Stay in your lane. The military sucks $1.6 trillion per year. We don’t work for you.

An article earlier today stated the Army was cutting 3,000 Special Forces positions.

But weapons and supplies for other countries are just dandy...

Perfect timing? Coincidence? What we are seeing in the world today has been planned.
