| Message | More money to the already bloated Defense Ministry? This department is already overfunded and losing vast sums to waste. Studies conducted by Defense indicate that 100 billion LOD/ year is all that is required to maintain, equip, research, and upgrade our armed forces. Funds over 100 billion LOD have diminishing returns with only marginal increase to defense readiness. Signed, Minister of Defense Edward Brown |
