Pentagon’s Wallet Diet: Save Bucks, Risk Brawn

The Pentagon, in what can only be described as ‘extreme budget yoga,’ has decided to save some serious cash by trimming costs, while casually admitting it might mess with military readiness. Yes, the very folks who keep the nation’s defense humming are basically saying, 'We’ll save money, but prepare for possible hiccups in fighting stuff.' It’s like your coach telling you to lose weight but also run a marathon next week—a maddening combo! No specific dates, dollar amounts, or warrior quotes were provided (because mystery is the best budget strategy), but the message is clear: save pennies now, worry about dragon fights later.
