‼️ US Munitions Burn Rate in Iran War: Stockpiles EVAPORATED in 38 Days— Leaving US/Allies vulnerable elsewhere Trump’s ill conceived war drained America’s critical, costly weapons faster than expected — $28–35B total (~$1B/day). Pentagon hit 13,000+ targets but burned through munitions meant for China/Russia. • 1,100+ long-range stealth cruise missiles fired — nearly the entire remaining stockpile built for a war with China • 1,000+ Tomahawk cruise missiles launched — roughly 10x the number the U.S. buys each year • 1,200+ Patriot interceptor missiles used — each costing $4M+ • 1,000+ Precision Strike & ATACMS ground missiles expended — leaving inventories at “worrisome” lows Consequences: Global U.S. stockpiles gutted by diverting bombs/missiles from Asia & Europe commands. Readiness vs. Russia/China now compromised. Pentagon scrambling to ramp up production of cheaper alternatives like attack drones.

The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

So we're calling these guys the "Liquor Cabinet"?
