Sharing is Caring! The Pentagon’s budget request for fiscal year 2022 totals $715 billion, and among the Defense Department’s stated priorities are fighting the “climate crisis” and “extremism” in America’s armed forces. The funding requested by the Pentagon under Biden continues a trend set under Trump who ballooned the military budget from just $582 billion requested by the Obama administration in 2017. The newest 2022 budget request increases the budget by $11 billion in comparison to 2021. A combined $40 million in the new Pentagon budget request is earmarked for fighting climate change and extremism in the ranks. t.co/Sg9RQ4KSJG
