Our military is in trouble (thank you Obama)

If you can read Lubed I did not defend extravagant spending in either the military or the private sector. The sequester was all Obama's idea. Conservatives warned the GOP that the sequestor was all about cutting the military without obvious Obama fingerprints. People like McConnell and Boehner were all too happy to jump on board rather than do the hard work required. OBAMA is responsible as are the democrat and GOP leadership.

When I was stationed in New London, CT the command put out a contract for 4-wheel drive SUVs. Of course they were required to buy the cheapest bid which was Jeep. They bought five dozen Jeep Cherokees in white. Problem is that they were all manual transmissions. So they had to turn around and put out a contract to convert all of them to automatic transmissions. The end result, the cost was nearly 50% more than a private citizen going out and buying a SUV. I would have fired the admiral or captain in charge of creating the contract.

In New Orleans the NOLA PD needed patrol cars. They had officers sharing two or three per car with doors or hoods being held down by bungie cords. Guess what? When a new administration got into office they found over 300 brand new police cars parked in a parking garage. The reason that they were never put on the street? They needed to be painted the proper color because the contract called for "white" cars instead of blue. In reality, they were being given to government people to be used as enticements.

Tell me (and us) that you know so much about this topic.

By the way, 2016 budget request was for 585 billion dollars which is about 115 billion less that Lubed
claims.

Which is exactly why we need a great negotiator. Politicians don't care how much "we the People" pay, its not on their dime.

Watch those prices start coming down with a real businessman/negotiator who knows and loves The Art of the Deal.

So this is what Twitler is going to do?

Save America money on its next oil change?

Wake up darlin... he's not in it for us. Period.

FAIL, out of context.

When my son was in Iraq and Afghanistan, he changed plenty of oil on the vehicles, in the down time. There was NO INVOICE!

Lewd_Wiggleass is confusing the $30.00 he charges for a rim job...

[canuckeight]

Lewd_Wiggleass was probably thinking what he makes a month sucking cock in the glory holes of SA.

[Muscleup]

The Obama admin was too concerned with global warming, transgender bathrooms and making sure Iran can develop an atom/thermonuclear device. Who gives a shit about our military troops when fucked-in-the-head transgenders can't figure out where to take a shit.

The Army is the only branch of service you come out with a fatter ass then when you entered into basic training.

You are full of shit- do you think oil changes and mechanical work for parts are all free? It was widely reported in the Iraq war how military vehicles that had minor damage were "totaled" out and trust me someone profited. Your SON wasn't probably a high enough rank to see invoices- do you really think privates or basic infantry men have that access? The logistics alone to pay for the Iraq war was nearly 500 million per day- that includes repairs, fuel, feeding soldiers etc.

Here's a quote from the article:

Despite the tens of billions being wasted on a project like the F-35, the examples that tend to draw the most attention from the media and the most outrage among taxpayers involve overspending on routine items. This may be because the average person doesn’t have a sense of what a fighter plane should cost, but can more easily grasp that spending $640 for a toilet seat or $7,600 for a coffee pot is outrageous. These kinds of examples -- first exposed through work done in the 1980s by Dina Rasor of the Project on Military Procurement -- undermined the position taken by President Ronald Reagan’s administration that not a penny could be cut from its then-record peacetime Pentagon budgets.


SO IFF DON'T DARE TELL ME THAT THE MILITARY DOESN'T PURPOSELY WASTE MONEY IF YOU FIND IT OK TO SPEND 600 DOLLARS OR A FREAKING 20 DOLLAR TOILET SEAT OR 7600 ON COFFEE POT AND I DID SEE INVOICES PERSONALLY FOR 3000 DOLLAR OIL CHANGES ON HUMVEES.

You're full of shit, Lubed Wide-ass. You're citing a thirty-year old article, Lubed Wide-ass. Plus, it's notable how you claim that you saw an invoice for $3,000 for HumveeS, Lubed Wide-ass. $3,000 for 100 HUMVEES would be market price, Lubed Wide-ass, but the truth of the matter is that per my personal experience is that our organic maintenance platoon changed the oil in our equipment as part of their routine maintenance mission, Lubed Wide-ass. So, Lubed Wide-ass, it's incumbent on your lib-retard ass to produce proof of your claim that these routine maintenance procedures were contracted out.

A "Green Navy" versus a "Lethal Navy" would be an abomination promoted by Odumbo, Lubed Wide-ass.
