re: #751 pingjockey

8% in the Pentagons budget can mean many things, a raise for the troops, R&D, more frackkin’ civilian paper shufflers, it does not mean the money will get to the folks at the sharp end. With this admin I opt for the option of more money for paper shufflers.

No shit. It’s just as likely that he was going to reduce defense by 30% and now is only going to reduce it by 22%. Hence the 8% increase….Voyla! Ain’t numbers grand?
