Steven had an amazing analysis of the proposed Department of Defense budget, per my request. You should read it. Preview: the importance of training, Osprey-bad, pork, artillery-good, and too-expensive jets.

More expansively, I really agree with Steven that the military needs to be focused on training personnel, much more so than on capital acquisition, as I've said before.

From research I've done before on the new destroyers, I think they're budgetting for one at a time, budgetting one per year, or something like that.

Thanks, Steven.
