i m not sure those numbers are totally accurate or representative in the sense that the way the army measures readiness is not just through whether its machines are fixed and fueled but through things like have each of its soldiers completed counter espionage training. there are dozens of checklists of some meaningful but some totally unmeaningful requirements that a brigade needs to register as combat effective. the numbers are a little misleading on that. i have confidence our grand forces will be ready to go. leland: we know the readiness numbers are something congress will talk about as they try to get the huge increase in defense spending and the service chief talking about it as an issue as well. thanks, my friend. all the best. shannon: san francisco a sanctuary set to pony up big bucks after the city violated
