It's interesting. I looked through a list of 60 some things he wanted to cut and I'm unable to get remotely riled up. Some of them I think are bad ideas. But a lot of them are the kind of things I have talked about wondering if anyone actually uses them. Over the years we just keep piling things on and never review programs and agencies to see if they are working, if they are duplicative, if they are efficient at all, if anyone is actually using them, etc. I don't think it is a bad idea at all to go through our government and do a reorg.
The downside is I don't think anyone actually did any of the hard work in coming up with this list. I'm feeling more like it was shooting darts in the dark.
Then make those cuts and don't add to the military.
He's a fucking idiot.
Maybe it time to invade North Korea. Might as well make the money count.
Hopefully many of you who ignorant about the military mean "get spending under control and to the right assets". The military most certainly needs "added to" if we don't change how money is distributed. Troops, actual fighters VB that is, are not shooting enough, not training enough and are far from ready. Recent Congressional testimony noted that 3out of 50 brigades in the Army are combat ready. That means they are short on people, training, leadership, ammo, vehicles or all of the above.
So before you get your panties wadded up you have to understand that our military is in a world of shit right now.
Just a taste. And this is one of the army's premier units.
