That’s NOT good!

We might go to war with North Korea. And to be bomb depleted is a mistake.

Thanks Obama. It wasn’t enough to gay the military you had to leave us defenseless.

That’s not a good fact to telegraph to the enemy.

“We might go to war with North Korea. And to be bomb depleted is a mistake.”.........

First of all, Mr. “Admiral” needs to be severely reprimanded for making such a statement, you do not makes such statements when dealing with several enemies all over the world. Trump will deal with that, I am certain.
Our munitions and resources should ALWAYS be keep confidential, PERIOD! If the guy was an odumbo appointee, “cancel” his contract.

Were spending billions to design and build a replacement to the Tomahawk that still works just fine. You could buy a tens of thousands of Tomahawks with what they are spending on that, and God knows how many bombs. Quit spending so much on new weapons and stock up on what we have now that works.

What would happen in the event of a major war, if the US happened to have no bombs because what they had were simply used up?

I think the US is being set up for son future defeat. Our system is agitating for war and they are using up the armaments on possibly lesser priorities.

He was testifying before Congress. He’s obliged to answer their questions. They can always close the meeting if they want. If you’re going to blame anyone it’s congress for asking in a public meeting, not the admiral, no quotes needed.
