American Secretary of Defense James Mattis did not mince words with Congress on Monday as he testified before the House Armed Services Committee about President Trump’s fiscal year 2018 defense spending proposal. According to the storied Marine General turned SECDEF, things have grown progressively worse for the men and women in uniform fighting in a multitude of conflicts in recent years.
“For all the heartache caused by the loss of our troops during these wars, no enemy in the field has done more to harm the readiness of our military than sequestration,” Mattis told lawmakers.
