“If true, congress needs to get their heads out of their butts and authorize some more defense spending.”
The President has wide discretionary control over the defense budget. If he wants to take money budgeted for bullets and bombs and spend it on Global Warming he can do so. This happens every time we have a Democrat in office. When Clinton left office he’d used all the bullets and bombs. On any given day up to 50% of Air Force and Navy planes could not fly for lack of a vital component. More money is not the answer. Fewer Democrat presidents is the answer.
Just think of all the bombs we wasted protecting Bosnia muslims.
Same thing happened under Carter. It was called a “hollowed out” force.
They also short on recruitment and training.
A lot of the training is straight out indoctrination in P.C. subjects.
Or send unemployment checks to the drivers of oil trucks that were blown up..............
