The Pentagon has plenty of money...
Well.....thats not entirely true. Granted, the emphasis will remain on troops in Iraq and Afghanistan; but this would mean funds would have to be transferred from other accounts/pools/sources to do this. The overall effect will be a lowering of our readiness posture which in turn hurts the military in its ability to do its job. If moneys designated for training, sustainment, and operations for things outside of Iraq/Afghanistan are redirected to those zones, the readiness of the units preparing to go/not yet in theatre will surely be affected.
