Did Obama overhaul the procurement system a few years ago? I read that he had instituted significant reforms that were accelerated by the budget caps placed in 2011, that forced the Pentagon to prioritize its purchases.
FTW, I agree completely with Rand Paul and the Democrats that the procurement system is beyond broken. Military spending is out of control on wasteful items instead of actual items we need. The F-35 is one such example. The number of bases we have is another example. And so on. The Pentagon doesn't need to be halved in funding, but taking out $30-40 billion wouldn't change the readiness of our military (Or freezing spending till 2020).
