Search under the couch cushions in the Pentagon, you'll come up with more than that.

It's not a budget cut, it's a "Trmp hates it" cut.

PS: I dislike seeing MMA referred to as "an explosive chemical". It takes just the right conditions for MMA to turn dangerous. Barring those conditions, it's just another flammable liquid with flammable vapors -- yes, those can explode, but so can powdered sugar. That doesn't justify referring to it as "an explosive chemical".
