Probably not well. The military's portion of the budget is huge, and I have the impression that it's beholden to a massive bureaucracy behind the front lines. The entire purpose of the military is to use bullets (or have them ready for use). Does that help?

I get it now. It's not too much bureaucracy actually, some of course. The military has some of the least of it in government cause it's not a democracy once you're in. The budget is for operations and maintenance and payroll/retirement, then bullets and equipment.

They are well ready to use the bullets, but luckily don't get to decide when they do. That's when the real bureaucracy starts, but not on their dime.
