Additional Link to Hegseth’s directive to the Secretary of the Army is partially visible here (pdf didn’t archive well; you can visit the .mil link if you wish)

Hard to tell if this is more DOGE-inspired nonsense or a serious effort to clean up their act. Probably the latter. Hegseth is a true believer and really wants war with China

    We will also continue to cancel programs that deliver dated, late-to-need, overpriced, or difficult-to-maintain capabilities. Yesterday’s weapons will not win tomorrow’s wars.

    Lmao, yeah right. Congress will keep funding that garbage because it personally benefits them and won’t fund the new shit just like the last 30 years.

      overpriced

      If Hegseth genuinely got rid of overpriced military equipment then the military would have no new equipment. The whole thing has been built from the ground up to print money for military companies.

        Critical support to Secretary Hegseth to deprive the military of equipment.

        And no doubt they’ll deprive the military of personnel, too, when they start doing the DOGE-style mass layoffs.
