The Pentagon has said that they are poised to lose $110 billion in purchasing power because of inflation.

The US Department of Defense will need an extra $42 billion in the next fiscal year to account for soaring inflation and rising procurement prices, according to the National Defense Industrial Association.
In a report released on Tuesday it’s estimated that the Pentagon will experience a $110 billion loss of purchasing power because of record-high inflation.
It also warns that this development “comes at a dangerous time” as the US faces challenges from China and still suffers from Covid-19 fallout, as well as supply chain and workforce issues. The crisis also overlaps with the ongoing Russian military campaign in Ukraine, a country Washington has been supplying with weapons and other aid.
“Inflation is particularly disruptive to our national defense because the long budget and acquisition processes [the Pentagon] use prevents timely adjustments for inflation,” the report states.
There’s no sign that these inflation issues are going to be resolved any time soon. The more purchasing power the Pentagon loses, the less equipment and resources they can buy.
We also recently saw how the United States Army was saying that the government should start giving food stamps to soldiers because of inflation.
When you have a situation like this, it is hard to comprehend how this evil war machine can be sustained. That’s not even taking into account all the other social problems that we see in the forces themselves. They’ve elevated women, blacks, faggots and other low IQ morons into positions that they had no business being in. This has created widespread dysfunction and exacerbated a pre-existing recruiting crisis.
