No problem. General Dempsey is also responsible for eliminating several other laws of physics. Next week, all military vehicles will be able to run without fuel, all military personnel will be able to operate for months without food, the SEALS’ equipment budget will be reduced because they will no longer need scuba gear, being able to breath underwater, and the Air Force will no longer need aircraft to fully complete their missions since they will only need to extend their arms out to their sides and make “zoomie” noises with their mouths like when we were kids.
Don't know if you were around during Vietnam but, in those days, when the POTUS and the Congress had a pi$$ing contest, the Congress would cut off funding for the war until they got what they wanted from the Prez.
It didn't keep the NVN and VC from attacking and killing us but, it severely limited our ability to respond. When the bullets were gone, they were gone. When the jet fuel was expended, bombers and fighters sat on the ground. When the artillery shells were out, the "firebases" became large targets.
The only thing that didn't stop was the bleeding. The Americans still bled.
The political elites in Congress weren't too concerned about that as long as they got another spending bill they wanted.
