Army cuts training as service is short billions of dollars

The Army is grappling with a sudden budget crunch and scrambling to slash training costs across broad swaths of the force, according to internal documents reviewed by ABC News and multiple U.S. officials.

The move is to make up for a shortfall of some $4 billion to $6 billion, according to one of the officials, as the service has drastically expanded its operational footprint at home and abroad.

yes I could "post a link" - but - usually I am more interested in the 'how did we get there and how do we get out"----versus just- a link.


Here's to yet another Israeli adventure.

Funny part -- the military industrial bosses will enjoy higher earnings, the lawmakers will become even wealthier.....as the arsenal is maybe replenished.


Slavery is never lucrative for the actual slaves.

Just like the Strait being closed benefits big oil.

God and Savior Trump proposed suspending the fuel tax, so no money for highway maintenance. Who cried? Trucking companies, that need decent roads to perform their job. They need we Proles paying for road maintenance. They should have paid a bigger bribe than big oil, to get their concerns addressed first.

Three of the trucking industry largest stakeholder groups voiced strong opposition to proposals that would suspend federal gas taxes, arguing the move would offer negligible benefit to consumers while gutting funding earmarked for highway safety and infrastructure.

Infrastructure is a first world thing.

In culture declined America, where Americans also have little civics knowledge---- there wouldn't be more attention to roads.

LOL

If more of the idiots knew why this war even started - and they understood their history, their civic power and responsibilities - things would be different.

"Culture" - this is just one more punishment.

Good news for truckers - the Coastal Tech people will have.the truckers out of work in due time. Then, the truckers can either "get a green job" or get a gun.

I won't say which I think it will be in some cases-----and I won't say my opinion on it.

Not my monkey, not my circus.

Man how did I used to manage when I cared. Hat's off to yuuo people who still give a shit - dont know how you do it.

Nope. Infrastructure exists in most areas of the world, not just a "first world thing"--unless the US is NOT "first world" anymore.
