I think I have to disagree with you there.
About 30% of the military problem is budget; the other 70% is the simple fact that you can’t lower standards so that QUEERS,LESBIANS, TRANSGENDERED FREAKS, WOMEN WHO CAN’T DO THE JOB, and all the other ALPHABET SOUP protected species can get what they call their “FAIR SHARE” of the promotions.
Leadership is definitely the biggest problem. No increase in budget is big enough to overcome that.
