Stevenson’s army, September 23
– NYT has good story on cyber options against Iran.
– One of the features of Continuing Resolutions, which Congress is ready to approve to keep the government funded until November 21, is that they not only keep spending at the previous year’s level but also ban new starts. DOD is already noting which important programs will suffer delays.
– Congress has also discovered that the Saudis still haven’t paid $181 million owed US for air refueling operations.
– I commend Charlie Dunlap’s call for a apolitical military.
