 Austin, Milley: President's FY22 Budget Request Sufficient for Defense Mission
May 27, 2021 | BY C. Todd Lopez , DOD News

The president's budget request for fiscal year 2022 is expected to contain $715 billion in funding for the Defense Department. DOD leaders have said they believe this is ample to accomplish things the department wants to do in the coming year.

 While the full presidential budget request has not yet been made public — that should come on Friday — Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III and lawmakers were aware of the total dollar amount for the Defense Department.

"This budget provides us the ability to create the right mix of capabilities to defend this nation and to deter any aggressors," Austin said during testimony today before the House Appropriations Committee, subcommittee on defense. "It adequately allows us to begin to prepare for the next fight ... it in fact does provide us the ability to go after the capabilities that we need."

It must scare the snot out of the Chinese and Russians to now the money the military gets is "sufficient" for the defense mission.  Does that mission include R & D at "sufficient" levels?  Does it account for irregular missions?  I'll bet it is more than sufficient for global warming research,  for diversity studies and indoctrination, for women's' studies, and weeding out white conservatives.
