Hegseth Memo Cuts $580,000,000 in DOD Contracts

I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere, and just saw it this morning.
Defense.gov Article

As part of the Defense Department's ongoing effort to cut wasteful spending, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo today directing the termination of more than $580 million in programs, contracts and grants.
The memo, "Continuing Elimination of Wasteful Spending at the Department of Defense," orders an end to various spending identified by the Department of Government Efficiency that does not match the priorities of President Donald J. Trump or the Defense Department, Hegseth said during prerecorded remarks.
"In other words, [the expenditures] are not a good use of taxpayer dollars; [and], ultimately, that's who funds us," Hegseth said.
"We owe [taxpayers] transparency and making sure we're using [the money] well," he added.
The top contract being cut is a software development program for the Defense Civilian Human Resources Management System, which was intended to streamline a significant portion of DOD's legacy human resources program.
The program started in 2018 and was supposed to take one year to develop at a cost of $36 million. However, Hegseth said it is now nearly eight years behind schedule and $280 million over budget.

Sadly it isn't even a drop in the bucket but it is still a great start.

Now lets watch the left, who've fantasized about cutting military spending for a generation, suddenly become appalled at the idea of cutting military spending.

I was going to post this sarcastically, but you beat me to it - except you are serious.

Let's get to the part where they're not using [the money] at all.

Nothing has been done, so your boogeyman won't come to pass anytime soon.
The DOD is fully funded at Biden levels THROUGH September.
*edited the correct timeframe to add another month

Mr. illiterate, he posted that I would follow a "lawfare" ruling by a judge made by Monday with support of the ruling.
He was wrong.

LOL. A legal challenge to a meaningful Trump era initiative by a left wing judge no more a boogeyman than the sun is when it breaks over the eastern horizon every morning.
But this will be a delicious little "bookmark and bump" for later, so thanks for that.

So when no injunction happens by Monday, what do I win (other than being right for the 1,000,000th time)?

There is much more in the way of contracts that can be cut but the MIC isn't going to like this and will fight back with all they have... These DoD contracts are how most of our politicians have gotten rich...

Judges didn't carry Bidenomics through to September.

Why do you keep avoiding comment on Trump and Congress funding the DOD at Biden levels through September?
