These are scary times, folks. For the Navy especially: you know—the principal service responsible for our “pivot to the Pacific.” The Navy will reduce the number of shipd in operational use yet again this year. Worse, Navy will defer serious maintenance on ships and aircraft. All our services are in similar boats, so to speak.

A major chess piece taken off the board.
Interesting timing, eh?

Interesting that Fearless Leader has mismanaged our economy so damned brilliantly that we can’t maintain National Security.

Troubling. not because of the budget - we’ve got enough money to deploy the carrier - out of a $500B budget - this is an excuse and a show to get more money from taxpayers.
This tells me that the Pentagon brass is now willing to compromise their solemn duty to the American people in order to pretend that a carrier cant sail if you cut their budget 10%.
What wouldn’t they do, if they take their duty to defend America so lightly, and indeed, if they decide to openly declare hostilities against taxpayers who decide not to pay for any more government.
This is a very troubling milestone. Do we now have a merely “passive aggressive” military?

Below is a portion of the released statement of Pentagon Press Secretary George Little: "The secretary of defense has delayed the deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) and the USS Gettysburg (CG-64). Whatever happened to the days when it was nobody's G.D. business where navy ships were, or weren't?
