This is not a cut to military spending, it is a cut to military service projects, e.g. building a levy to protect homes in a flood zone.
It is not the military that is going to suffer, it is the citizens in these states who will not have their necessary projects completed.

Bingo.
That was mentioned multiple times and conveniently ignored by Trump's apologist.

Good!
I'm upset that he put the money elsewhere instead of trying to do better budgeting.
He needs to cut about $250 billion more from annual military spending.
Yeah I'm confused, you'd think dems would be okay with pulling funding from the military. Isn't it usually that side that whines about military overspending? Isn't it usually the Republicans pushing for more and more and more military spending?
I want the left to be honest: even if Mexico legitimately offered to pay for the wall they'd still be against it(this is why I laugh whenever they go "herp derp I thought Mexico wuz payin!", as if they'd be okay with that). This is not about money or even feasibility. It never has been. Nancy Pelosi gave the game away by calling the wall immoral(it's not).
