They're not even attributing these last four brave Americans lost in combat to this war.

It is just...

beyond the pale.

From everything we know, and this has been the case for several months, we knew the burn rate of these munitions was incredibly dangerous.

Literally in early March, a week into the war, I questioned a senior Pentagon leader about this exact problem, and they just denied the reality that we were hearing from folks on the ground.

The problem is we have expended so many munitions in just a few months that it will literally take us a decade plus just to get back to the level of interceptors and precision strike missiles, which are incredibly expensive, incredibly slow to produce.

That means other adversaries around the world now, particularly China, to a certain degree, Russia, know that we're weak and vulnerable.

That makes every American less safe.

And look, if you can't even...

recognize and own and be honest about the problem, how are we expected to fix it?

And again, we can't say it enough.

This is a grave disservice to our troops in uniform who are now in more danger because of Hegs' complete clown car of a Pentagon that he's running.

I think what we're seeing in the president's priorities are enriching himself, enriching his buddies that are the CEOs of these defense companies.

I mean, his own sons have bought huge shares in a bunch of companies that are now making huge profits on this war.

While, of course, we know Trump himself never served, certainly no Trump family members that I know that are signing up to go on this war.

It's our young people, working class people that are going to war.

So he is 180 degrees off.

particularly for somebody who ran on stopping wars.

What we need to do is one, a trillion dollar plus defense budget is outrageous when we need to be investing in housing and healthcare, bringing down gas and grocery and utility costs.

So we gotta get our priorities back straight there.
