Guest Opinion: \”More Love\” for the Pentagon

Volume XX No.41: October 9, 2015

The Capitol this week was more like a German Opera, but we’ll invoke a little Motown sound to describe how some Members of Congress are treating the Pentagon. Because when it comes to spending, there is no doubt a certain segment of Congress believes in giving the Pentagon \”More Love.\”

In case you’re not a devotee of 60s music, the singer urges to, \”Let it be soon, don\’t hesitate. Make it now, don\’t wait.\” And that’s exactly the approach of the final version of the Pentagon policy bill, called the \”NDAA\” (for National Defense Authorization Act) in acronym-happy Washington. Continuing the love song theme, lawmakers are intent to \”Keep It Coming Love.\”
