The Defense Appropriations Bill delivers critical wins—3.8% pay raises for troops, F-35s, Columbia-class subs, and $500M for Taiwan’s defense. But let’s cut through the spin: Section 8067’s $1.27B for foreign security forces needs strict oversight—no blank checks. Border security? The bill pumps $1.15B into counter-drug ops, but DOD’s role in migrant ops (Sec. 8063) risks mission creep.

Readiness isn’t just hardware—it’s ditching failed “divest to invest” scams that gutted F-15 fleets. Audit the $831B topline—every dollar must crush bloat, not feed bureaucracy.

Peace through strength means results, not rhetoric.
