How about just spend the money in the right places. Military buys too much stupid shite.

Would like to see Trump display some fiscal responsibility.

I would like to see some of the contracts coming out with the new inflated military budget. Some of it will be mind blowing for sure.

Stupidity. Kind of like throwing money at education.

I'm a firm believer we can strengthen our military while cutting costs.

There are areas in our military that badly need to be upgraded

One small thing I would do and I have no idea how much it would save, is going back to one utility uniform for all services, maybe just the bdu. We have to be blowing through millions so the brass can have a uniform pissing contest. I'd also get rid of the spend it or lose it budgeting and actually award CO's for saving money.

I disagree with Trump here. Trump train is awesome but nothing can stop the MIC astroid.

Don't worry. Trump's a businessman. He'll negotiate and make deals. He'll make the most incredible F-16s ever made for a fraction of the cost.

That's peanuts, to be honest, and most end up paying for their own uniforms in many instances.

This would have a real impact. ETA: I wouldn't award COs for saving money (the effects of that would be terrible), but the spend it or lose it piece needs to get gone.

Would lead to people not having access to the necessary needed equipment and items

Although spend it or lose it is dumb in theory and dumb in execution

This is exactly what he said he would do during his campaign

It's one of the main reason why I didn't vote for him

Well, most of the money is in development. They spent $100 mil on the ACU*.

*I just made that up but it sounds true.

Also, I didn't mean monetary award. I'm thinking more like an ARCOM.
