The DoD can't justify this budget because it can't pass an audit. Who will stand up to the military industrial complex & vote no to defeat this bill? 1/12

The Pentagon’s budget has already been increased by $165 billion over the past two years – more than the entire military budget of Russia. Meanwhile, Congress keeps appropriating money to buy warplanes and other weapons systems that our own generals tell us we do not need. 2/12

We spend more on the military than the next 10 countries combined, many of which are our close allies or strategic partners. In fact, we spend more on the Pentagon today than during the height of the Vietnam War, the Korean War or the Cold War after adjusting for inflation. 3/12
