The Defense Department is reportedly considering a reduction to its aircraft carrier force as part of the Pentagon’s budget request to Congress for fiscal year 2022.
USNI News, citing two sources familiar with the discussions, reported Wednesday that in order to meet proposed defense budget caps, the Defense Department is weighing scaled-back spending on aircraft carriers.
While the Pentagon has not yet announced the budget topline, USNI News cited Politico and Bloomberg’s reporting that the Defense secretary’s office was working under the assumption that the Pentagon would be given a budget between $704 billion and $708 billion for the next fiscal year, which starts on Oct. 1.
The Trump administration’s fiscal year 2022 budget called for $722 billion in defense spending.
Absolutely no reason to have a species killing climate crisis ship in the water. Sell it or cut them up for our bridges.
Let’s put this in context. Biden says his son is the smartest guy he knows. Hunter was very, very briefly a Navy officer so this is a business decision and not just trying to scuttle the Navy.
The ‘ex-general who runs the outfit over there’ (a close quote from Biden’s lips earlier this week about the Secretary of Defense and the Pentagon) has his priorities politically correct.
First thing he did was order all military to stand down to purge all raycisses. And now he faces the hard choice of providing an aircraft carrier or providing gender bender medical care to create untold numbers of dickless dames and boobless boys from those on active duty or enlisting. The impact on their readiness before and after their various surgeries is still being estimated. I believe the Press spokesmouth said she’d circle back with more info following the next Haley’s Comet sighting.
