So will any Vets start calling out the Trump Admin’s guidance to scale back military spending? It’s being done for the same reason that led to sequestration of the budget when Congress and DoD couldn’t figure out a reasonable long term budget. I’m not suggesting failure to cut 5% across the board is going to lead to another sequester; just reminding folks that went crazy the last time they heard a president call for cuts that also effected the Defense Dept.
All the more this suggests sending 5-15K active duty troops to the border seems like a waste of money when we can surge other domestic state and federal resources to handle the border situation.
