The UFR list does not add any additional spending authorizations to the NDAA. Congress has a constitutional responsibility to fund the military. These lists provide us with insight into senior leader requirements. It allows us to allow the combatant commanders, the people down there who are closest to the troops, to tell us what they need. I am surprised that she is for the current administration, and the DOD that is appointed by the current administration, to tell us how we need to spend our money in Congress. I am not for that with any President. We need to do our job as Congress, and we need to listen to the people closest to the ground, and it does not add any money to the current NDAA process.
