August 29Aug 29 A Pentagon memo warns of "shortfalls in payroll" accounts after the department raided them to finance combat operations. One Navy official said: "The money for payroll was robbed to pay for overseas contingencies." Non-emergency maintenance has already been postponed. "The piggy bank is broken," said retired naval officer Harlan Ullman. The war has depleted munitions, wrecked Middle Eastern bases, and left a $67 billion emergency funding request stalled in Congress. Trump launched the war on February 28. The Navy's $300 billion budget didn't account for it. Now sailors' paychecks are being cannibalized to keep it going.

August 29Aug 29 Well the "The Hormuz Report” on "X”. Who needs any more verification ? Does it sound like something this administration would do, yes. Until I see it on MSM channels, I’ll wait to condemn.

September 1Sep 1 At ~$4 million a shot, that is $380-640 million burned in a single wave to keep two bases covered. A fully loaded battery holds 72-96 MSE on the rails. Two batteries plus a local reload is a few hundred rounds in-country, and tonight took a third to half of that.Without a restock from the Gulf or US mainland, two or three more nights like this empty the Jordan magazines. If those batteries weren't fully loaded going into the night, the ready pile is already gone this morning. Each PAC-3 MSE takes about two years to build.
