Title: As Biden heads for the exit in Afghanistan, GOP lawmakers mount last-ditch effort change his mind


Topic:  It’s possible that Biden’s decision to pull the plug on the U.S. and NATO mission in Afghanistan could have an impact on next year’s defense budget. The administration is requesting $715 billion for the Pentagon, $753 billion if you count the money for nuclear weapons programs under the Department of Energy.


Ending direct military support to the Afghan government could free up as much as $21 billion of “additional trade-space,” according to calculations by budget expert James McAleese of McAleese & Associates.

Title: Biden Bucks the Brass on Afghanistan 


Topic: What does a U.S. withdrawal mean for the defense budget? Consultant Jim McAleese did some back-of-the-envelope calculations to estimate the move could free up somewhere in the range of $21 billion next year that at least theoretically could be applied to other needs.


That’s the amount designated in this year’s budget for “direct-combat-requirements,” he points out, for operations and maintenance, military personnel, procurement, and research and development. “Consequently, this unexpected action could potentially provide up to an additional ~+$21B of topline DoD funding for currently under-resourced missions,” McAleese concludes.
