Budget defense: President Obama proposes to spend dangerously little on the military.
BY any measure, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has had a long honeymoon, but it may be coming to an end. The new Pentagon budget was released on Monday of Easter Week, when Congress was dispersed about the country for the recess. Gates may have deftly dodged the bullet of congressional indignation for the moment, but he has good reasons to worry. This is a "transformation" budget like its Rumsfeld-era predecessors, and like all reforms, it will anger vested interests. But as Max Boot points out, it is also an austerity budget, which means that it will anger lots of vested interests--especially given the lack of any restraint in domestic spending under Obama.
