The recent DoD budget proposal tops $1 Trillion with a capital T.
“The Trump OMB's "skinny budget," released on Friday, proposes cuts to non-defense funding by $163 billion but increases defense funding from $893 billion to $1.01 trillion – a 13% increase. That includes $892.6 billion in discretionary spending, but will be supplemented by $119.3 billion in mandatory spending that is expected to be passed in the upcoming reconciliation bill.”1
Yet, in the new redirection of the Pentagon only a handful of generals have been fired. This means the same ‘team’ of general officers is being offered even more money to do their job – poorly.
The DOGE commission easily found shocking amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse in not only DoD but the entire government. The Pentagon hasn’t passed an accounting audit in years. The record budgets given to DoD in the past few years seem to have been wasted money, largely due to the poor leadership of modern generals.
Once more, the Yemeni Houthis managed to shoot a missile all the way to Israel despite more ‘shock and awe’ US bombardments and ludicrous amounts of money and resources expended for apparently no reason or effect. Wasn’t the Houthi military capability supposed to be crushed by now? This seems to be a continuation of the colossal failure of Afghanistan minus servicemembers coming home in coffins. More money for high tech gizmos doesn’t inherently make the US safer or its military more effective.
How does throwing more money at our mismanaged, wasteful military establishment even pretend to make our military more capable? Our general officers have made a career (and post career fortunes) on DOING LESS WITH MORE. It is time to put a microscope on the Pentagon and its general officers and spend American citizens’ hard earned tax dollars more wisely.

It’s past time for the microscope,,,it’s time to HAUL the traitors OUT of the Pentagon(and court martial them) before the next generation of soldiers is EXPLOITED for their EVIL gain. The next step is they SELL our AI secrets to China, and the entire World is exploited by Ji👿.
Why is Trump waiting to be stabbed in the back by the Pentagon?!🤯🤯. For the 2nd time! Is he hoping these traitors will have a change of heart🤣😂🙄
Indeed!
