I need a „Sure, tread on everything.“ bumper sticker.
A demonstration that „national security“ is just an opportunistic lie.
Why even have military technicians and mechanics I guess.
This is stupid, who would vote for that?
Wow, looks like short term profits are more important than winning wars. We truly are led by morons motivated only by pure greed.
Hey Captain! I can’t shoot my rifle! I know how to fix it, but it’s illegal now!
„Welp Private Bobby, you are now a meat shield“
This is the kind of shit that our “legislators” work up. No wonder our country is shit. All chips in on enriching the 1%.
And the ultra-rich win again.
Sounds like lot of politicians received lot of $
Can it be a grift? Then yes they support it
Destroying the country to benefit the parasitic billionaires
Well damn there goes the one good idea I’d ever heard come out of the Trump administration.
Gonna be great for readiness. /s
Americans really sold their country to a group of Billionaires who just want it for profit
Follow the money who benefits from this change not just the politicians but the corporations
Screw this treasonous admin and their owners and handlers. Out in the field the front line people will always figure out how to work around stupid crap to make things work. Always have, always will.
“Hello, Raytheon tech support? Yes, I’m having trouble with one of your products. What’s that? Yes, I’ll hold.”

This can be how America will truly fall. In the war field and unable to fix their gun and fire against the enemy.
What the military gets with the majority being Republican.
So much for picking up a skill while defending your country.
They don’t have the authority to do that.
The USA is a corporate dystopia, bought and paid for by special interest groups and lobbies. Cattle that keep that parasitic swamp in place ought to feel some shame, if they had any. And brains.
Just a whole other level of corruption with this administration.
Russia destroyed us in Ukraine because we were shooting down 50$ drones with missiles worth millions, how could we fix this?
congress: make the missile launcher more expensive to repair!
nha jk, they are not mentally challenged, corrupt is the word
Looks like the „McDonald’s ice cream machine dilemma“ but military grade.
Well, of course. All it means is that some congressman with investments in particular companies are going to profit. From said companies simply producing new shit.
Typical . This is the epitome of end stage capitalism just throw it the fuck away and charge someone for a new one.
Gonna turn all of those armored vehicles into Chef Boyardee mantraps through the power of stupidity
That’s so Trump can once again reward contracts to undeserving company that bends the knee and pays ‚the man‘
The American government is fucked up ! 100% fucked up
You really gotta love the freedom and efficiency this administration is spreading.
Who is getting that contract?
So China will be fixing weapons for the Americans? 🤣
Some very good lobbyists are getting a bonus
The biggest crop of wasteful spenders in the history of America.
> The idea was that no service member would ever be left waiting on a contractor to fly in from Norway to repair a simple part — which once happened
This directly hurts our combat readiness to enrich plutocrats. Utter fucking insanity.
So, soldiers don’t have the right to fix their equipment while out in the field when they really need it?? Instead, they have to wait for a repair tech to show up?
Soooo, more waste?!
„This is not a paywall“
*blocks the entire article with locked popup*
„Now you have two choices, give us your email or give us your email.“
Nah, on principle alone it’s an emphatic no.
A lot of this shit is soon to be retiring generals getting seats on these companies by locking in defense contracts for companies that are 10 years. Just some of reasons crap like this goes down.

Sounds like the first step in privatizing our military.
Literally what we did daily PMCS
Good news, an unrepaired military is an unprepared military.
Well shit. Anyone hiring?
Just like with Reagan, the Trump era is chock full of the rich and shameless hoarding money at the expense of the country.
So, with lives depending on functional equipment, they have to send it back to the factory?
There is no bottom to the depths of regulatory capture that we’ve fallen into.
