The DoD has been woke since 1948. It integrated before the rest of the country.
Without DoD research we wouldn’t have the internet or cellular phones. Cutting research into alternative fuels is insane. If our military can run on renewable energy sources that’s a huge advantage against our adversaries. >

And gps! >

I assume that Ukraine aid will now be redefined as 'Woke' in rightwing media in the runup to the spending cuts voting. >

The repubs are on the Russian’s side. >

There probably is waste in an 800 billion dollar budget.  Hard to argue with that.  And many of his other thoughts on cutting military spending are quite reasonable.  He sounds almost moderate.  Sane.  Thoughtful.  Until one googles whether republicans cut military spending during the Trump years.  Hint, they did not.  They added 130 billion to the military budget over the course of Trump's 4 years.  Unlikely they now honestly wish to decrease military spending under a Democrat president.  More likely they are just playing politics.  Ugh. >

When they say they want to cut military spending, they are not talking about the MIC. >

Cut all that corporate freakin welfare to oil, defense, and big pharma.  Oh wait, those are the companies that own the living shit out of these lapdogging ghouls. >

McCarthy is just going to cut the wokeness funding and fuels research, so, just standard gqp against any possible kind of progress. I see the first recall of a speaker coming soon. There are promises that are going the way that most republican promises seem to go. Remember when inflation was a problem? >

If anyone thinks that money will be spent on our social programs or not funneled into the pockets of the already uber rich, you have not been paying attention since about '82. >

Having the Trump/GOP advocating for cutting military spending is a political gift for US, Democrats and independents opposed to the GOP white supremacist Christians.
This will create divisions on the GOP already infighting. >

With at least 5 different hands up his ass controlling him, it's amazing he can speak at all. >

We should cut military funding. We also need to crack down on accounting errors in the military. Hell I read a few months back how one base paid like $1.2m for printers that where not even worth $400 per printer. And that’s 1.2m per printer not 1.2m for a entire shipment of printers. We don’t need a larger nuke arsenal because we already have plenty. Hell there’s even quite a few military bases across the Middle East we could shut down. And while we are at it we make isrial start paying for there iron dome and South Korea start paying for our help in there DMZ.
Edit: and it’s asinine to cut funding looking into new fuels because we all know that there’s only so mutch oil and petroleum we can get out of the ground. Hell rumor has it even Saudi Arabia is running out of oil. So do they really want to wait till everything’s falling apart to start looking for another solution rather than actually being ready for the inevitability that we will run out of oil at some point. >

Don't you ever feel the need to help some countries out of kindness just because we are able to? Don't make SK pay for their defense...
