President Obama has signed the annual defense policy bill into law, the White House announced Friday.
But Obama said he was disappointed in a number of aspects of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“Congress again failed to enact meaningful reforms to divest unneeded force structure, reduce wasteful overhead and modernize military healthcare,” he said. “Instead, the Congress redirects funding needed to support the warfighter to fund additional end-strength that our military leaders have not requested at a time when our troops are engaged overseas supporting the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and against al-Qaida."
