Friday morning’s guests on Breitbart News Daily included former Navy SEAL Carl Higbie, author of Battle on the Home Front: A Navy SEAL’s Mission to Save the American Dream, and the new book Enemies, Foreign and Domestic: A SEAL’s Story.
SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon asked Higbie if the major problem faced by the American military through the Obama years was a shortage of logistics, weapons, and equipment, or “a problem of will, of taking the fight to the enemy, of having the back of those people, like yourself, who are on the tip of the spear.”
“I think the problem is not the men. The problem is not the budgeting. The problem is the direction and allocation of assets,” Higbie replied.
“I don’t disagree with cutting some of the military personnel, because fifty years ago, it took 30 people to load a single gun on a battleship. Now, one guy pushes a button. Technology has outpaced the need for excessive manning,” he explained.
“That said, we still need a very strong military. The problem is, our allocation of resources and funds to the military is so wasteful,” Higbie continued. “Overseas in Iraq, I’ve seen – we left Humvees behind, and weapons, and tools. Everything you could imagine. We’ve spent money so poorly that if we had somebody come in there with a business background, like Donald Trump, to help reorganize and make sure we’re allocating the right assets to the right things, we could do three times as much with a third of the money.”
