POGO’s Winslow Wheeler of the Straus Military Reform Project went on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal with Dan Goure of the Lexington Institute to discuss what America’s military looks like since the sequester budget reductions have taken effect. Watch the video above to see what the pair had to say about rising personnel costs, the broken acquisition system, and how present-day spending stacks up to previous defense budgets.
