As a former member of the U.S. Army, I have very strong beliefs about how we should be supporting our troops, but, IMO, this kind of language does nothing to help the cause of our armed services... Does anyone really think that the military doesnt waste tons of money every year??? Ive used this example before, but when I was on active duty in the early 80s, our unit would routinely use up the unused budget late in the fiscal year so that our budgets werent cut the next year. Im pretty certain that we werent the only ones... I agree that Congress needs to get its act together so that the armed forces has a dependable source of money that can be used to remain combat-ready, but I think that they should also do a much better job of not wasting so much $$$.
