The DoD budget lost close to $500B from the budget last year and now there's another $500B in mandatory cuts if a deal isn't struck between the POTUS and GOP.
The DoD has been getting rid of "waste" like firing contractors and Govt employees as well as programs. Instead of cutting the grass around base each week, it might get cut now once every 2-3 weeks. That is an operating cost that has been slashed across numerous bases.
The Commissary has increased the surchage (a TAX) on food pretty much each year the past couple years despite the claim there is no TAX on base for food.
Flying units are flying less training missions, many weapons systems currently in R&D are being scrubbed, etc.
Seeing shithead civilians constantly talk about the DoD needing to make cuts while they defend more spending and waste in the welfare programs....is beyond fucking ludicrous. Scumbag civilians that constantly attack the DoD are always the first ones that hide behind the DoD when there is an attack.
