Both valid points, some folks fail to realize that we WILL pull chocks from Afghanistan hence, the level of current manpower, projects, and spending will not be needed. While some say that this will leave us with a hollow force, which it may, the reality is when wars drawdown so does the military.
On your second point, the end of year spending fiasco's that I have seen make me sick to my stomach. There were times my unit didn't have enough funds to buy new flight boots (most of us bought our own anyway, but that's not the point) or gear, but the end of year funds had to be spent on flat screens for the OPS desk...truly sickening...
