“There are also massive cuts coming to the military that will leave it a shell that it is now.”
The military budget should have been slashed years ago.
It is far better to pay doctors and nurses who are allowed to fight sickness here in the USA than to pay soldiers prohibited from effective military action anywhere.
Ironic isn’t it, that if you slash the military enough, there won’t be enough doctors and nurses to take care of the mass casualties when an adversary kicks our asses.
