#1 It's the Legacy Infortainment Enterprises 'reporting'. Do you think they understand the POM and the military budget structure, let alone the differences between a tank, a personnel carrier, and a self propelled gun? But, hey, it sounds good for the target audience.

#2 Ref #1: Yes, but the MSM's transition to concern for military construction must have been a painful one.

#3 All of a sudden the liberals and lefties are worried about the funding of military programs.

The Dems are trying to deny Trump success on his 2016 campaign promise by denying him military funds for the wall. They will then try to hammer him in the 2020 election. Usual Dem weasel behavior.

#4 Rangers will soon be forced to bring their own wood chips to PT and hand-to-hand training pits.

#9 Why is it Trump's border wall when Congress approved the wall during a previous Administration?

#10 Fast way to get billions and billions of dollars is to shut down the (so far worthless) F-35 program and use the money on the entire wall, heck there might even be enough left over to do the entire US/Canada border!

#13 The F-35 is not worthless. I believe it was corruptly and incompetently managed, but it is now a worthwhile aircraft. The only thing holding it back is how awful our procurement officials are (the Israelis seem to have no issues flying combat missions with them already, years in advance of us).
