“p.s. Impeachment and sexual scandal to fill agenda post midterms” - no matter what he does with the damned budget, so do the right thing and veto it.
As for the military, let us not forget that our military leadership is stuffed with flag officers nominated for promotion by Obama, some of whom are - or were - in the Trump administration. Furthermore, the government, with its completely broken acquisition system, is hardly a good steward of taxpayer money and DoD is the poster child for government waste, fraud and abuse. Government contractors, particularly those in the defense sector, continue to grow, gobble up their competitors and rape the American taxpayer - all while being led by retired flag officers who couldn’t give a shit about “the troops”. Just look at the recent acquisitions by companies like Raytheon, General Dynamics, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, etc., throwing around billions of dollars. You don’t get that kind of money from the profit margins of retail sales.
I have always believed that any high ranking officer that served under the usurper was a traitor. They put personal agenda above country, or worse, were an active part of destroying America.
