#3 Service connected would see this first. No spare parts or equipment. Biden promised Ukraine billions yet again. Some things will take three years to supply. Putin's fault. Problem now is Ukrainian fielding experienced personnel are depleted. Each so called advance the other day never advanced a thing for them. Many deaths occurred. Some troops realized and without orders backed down. 60 drones versus over Russia's 1000. 6000 shells rained down in a day some places. Russian slow and methodical advance to avoid civilian casualties. Why, Russians have families living in Ukraine. They are brothers. I realize this sounds like Russian propaganda but that is why the progress of Russia is so slow. Basically allowing civilians to leave to avoid being killed as each area of Ukrainian cities are encircled.

Foggy Bottom aka US State Department Foreign Military Sales (FMS) folks no longer report on FMS.
No public info available on types of equipment, dollar amounts, or destinations.

#5 $100's of Billions given away to protect the world and hardy a 10% spend on arming, securing and protecting the USA.

I it because the LSD's know what will happen after 2024 and are making sure they have remote places to hid when DC reverts to sanity.

#6 Summer of '72 we fired on the LAW range with actual LAWs. Summer of '73 we fired on the LAW range with sub-caliber rounds in used LAW tubes. The stockpile of LAWs was depleted reinforcing and resupplying the South Vietnamese successful repulse of the first North Vietnamese invasion following the US withdraw. What else is new?

Tanks that were to be sent for the defense of the American territory of the Philippines were redirected to the British in North Africa prior to December '41.

No spare parts or equipment.

Welcome to the US military in the post Vietnam period. Didn't change till Reagan took office.

Did we forget the drugs, race riots, AWOLs, etc?
Today the command promotes race division.

#8 And what fun it will be to divest them of all that ordnance to replenish the actual military.

#9 Odd to shorthand the weapon's name, then go into detail.
-reaches for salt-

Not that I doubt Lunch Vader's incompetence.
