    Defense Secretary Mattis: US Cannot Survive On 'Puny' Military Budget

    Defense Secretary Mattis: US Cannot Survive On 'Puny' Military Budget



    Even though Congress has given the Defense Department more money than either the Pentagon or the President asked for, Defense Secretary Mattis warned that our very survival was in jeopardy because we are not spending enough on the military. But spending is not the issue...it's the policy!
