At the start of the year Hegseth was talking about making an ~8% cut to the DoD budget every year for the duration of Trump's term, but Trump's budget request to Congress (because really they're (supposed to be) responsible for the budget) has a 13% increase instead. And a substantial portion of that is going to meme vanity projects like the gold dome and the F-47, it doesn't account at all for the expense of even a short air war with Iran.

>I really don't think most of our "defense" spending is coming from paying soldiers.
At a glance personnel were about a quarter of the overall DoD budget for FY25. The DoD employs millions of people though so 90k would be a drop in the bucket out of that.
