Funding can provide troops with what they need. It cannot substitute for deciding whether the nation should be at war or demanding a coherent strategy from the civilian leaders conducting it.
"Clausewitz lays it down as one of the bases of his system that the first and most comprehensive of all strategical questions is to understand rightly what the war means to the people engaged in it, so as to measure the degree of national endurance upon which you may rely." "The Seven Years War," by Sir Julian S. Corbett, page 169. Published 1907. (Mr. Hegseth lacks a clear understanding of war. He seems to believe that his short time in the National Guard qualifies him to lead the United States military. Just the rambling thoughts of an old hermit. Hope I haven't upset anyone. )
Excellent. Well said, Dave. Thank you for providing a clear analysis documents Hegseth’s incompetence, and logical fallacies. The binary choice of fund or abandon demonstrates immaturity, self interest, and lack of strategic experience.

The best way to support troops is to not send them into shithole wars
