“Because The Pentagon is cost conscious.”
They are because the socialists keep cutting their defense budget.
“President Biden’s defense budget request is wholly inadequate — it’s nowhere near enough to give our service members the resources, equipment and training they need,” Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and his House counterpart, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., said in a statement. “It’s disingenuous to call this request an increase because it doesn’t even keep up with inflation — it’s a cut.”
The $715 billion Pentagon request for fiscal 2022 sent to Congress represents an $11 billion increase and trails the rate of inflation, and procurement funding, the purchasing accounts used to buy new equipment, would fall nearly 6 percent.
The budget is giving out raises at 2.7% to military and civilian employees, but lacks the fund so our military trails the improvement to stay up with the world.
You’re right. The Pentagon is cost conscious...in self defense.
