Will this clean out much of the corruption and gross overspending within the National Defense Industry, doubt it. Will the country finally Demand Sacrifice related to the results of our wars of choice and bring us Veterans, especially these present ones and their families after multiple tours, and add what they should have decades ago to build the up to date and responsible Veterans Administration, thus saving treasury capital, doubt it!

A big part of the still high costs are needed for enhancing cyber security, also add in what wasn't done on bases, we saw the living conditions the troops were coming home to during the bush admin, some of that has been upgraded much more needs to be done, also the military health care within still needs upgrading, long ignored like the VA budget and the country still isn't Demanding Sacrifice especially during this past decade and much more!! It isn't all about weapons etc., that's where to watch, which the country doesn't, for the way overspending and corruption within!!
By the way, the bush admin and their congresses Greatly Damaged that so called National Security by creating much more hatreds towards us and our policies! Soldiers fighting are trying not only actually do the mission abandoned in Afghanistan but try and minimize that damage, we already passed that line of no return and they know we have but they are trying, the not lessons learned from Vietnam, so many DeJa - Vu's, reason we don't see them forming a huge movement within as we had during Vietnam, and the CiC is leading by what those sent want, gradual drawdowns to end while trying to keep some of the promises to the Afghans abandoned when we sent them into Iraq and the country, some 70% plus, cheered that on!!
