🇺🇸🇮🇷 The real confession in the Pentagon’s big speech: 7 months of war with Iran have drained America’s arsenal
War Secretary Pete Hegseth rolled out six new programs at Quantico, and the one that matters most is FORTRESS America, which promises bases that can power themselves and deep reserves of munitions, fuel, medicine and blood.
That’s the Pentagon admitting what this war exposed, with air defenses and munitions partly spent, warships worn down, at least 19 Americans dead and more than 800 wounded in a fight Washington first said would take weeks.
A new drone warfare command makes sense for the same reason.
The catch is most of it lands in 2027 while the war is happening now, so every minute spent on culture fights from the podium is a minute not spent getting Congress to pay for refilling the magazines.
