And how it affected support of operational units.
When Biden took office, logistics and engineering assessment departments were improved, and more importantly, the processes of improved records keeping and modernization (not just streamlining) were encouraged.
"Leverage the past while Looking to the Future" was the idea.

Then the first week of February, 2025, we got DOGE. Move Fast, Break Things. Make life miserable for all Government employees who weren't on-the-streets type Policing groups (ICE, US Marshalls, BCP), well, except ATF.
Mass purges of experienced high level officers and specialists who were members of minority groups or weren't willing to ignore their oath the Constitution.

Tell everyone the Federal Government was looking to reduce personnel and departments by 1/2, and they'll be either privatizing or automating the rest.

And now, Kegsbreath have the gall to say Biden caused the current problems in the Military?
