Progressive groups want to restrict the hiring of defense industry executives for top DoD posts and reduce the number of support contractors in the Pentagon.
WASHINGTON — A group of progressive and anti-war organizations in a memo to President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team ask the incoming administration to make deep cuts to military budgets, and specifically target the U.S. Space Force, the next-generation ICBM and missile defense programs.
The contents of the memo were first reported on Monday by Politico. A copy of the memo was obtained by SpaceNews.

Progressives/socialist as just plain stupid. People asked what is Space Force going to do. It is just doing what the Air Force already was doing.That is it had and has a legitimate mission. Progressives and socialists just did nit read the memo.
