UPDATE
July 10 -- soon-to-retire NC Senior Senator Tillis
has regretted he voted to confirm Pete Hegseth as
DoD (Pentagon) Chief as confirmations that
Hegseth failed to coordinate the "review"/Pause
of arms shipments to Ukraine frontline fighters --
"It's clear he's out of his depth as a manager of a large,
complex organization" -- NYTimes.com Annie Karni
report from the Pentagon /politics/tillis-hegseth-vote-unfit.html

July 3, 2025 Pentagon Spokesman S. Parnell told
of withholding air defense system interceptors
and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine
as part of a global review of where the
Pentagon is sending such artillery rounds
"to help POTUS and Hegseth make decisions"
THIS PRESS CONFERENCE was his first
in 4 months -- Parnell attempted a general
explanation : "We can't give weapons to
everybody all around the world; we have to
look out for America and defend our
homeland and troops around the world. . ."

Secy. Hegseth demands 8% planned budget
cuts in upcoming FY budgets, likely to
move full-time Pentagon employees to
contract basis, making it easier to fire them.
WashingtonPost.com online article suggested
that soon, around Washington's Birthday,
Pentagon officials will learn which probationery
members will be fired from the lists submitted
to Elon Musk (Trump associate and BFF) and
