The Trump administration has sparked a full-blown \u201cfinancial crisis\u201d within the U.S. Navy after pillaging coffers earmarked for service member payrolls, The Guardian reported<\/u> after speaking with U.S. Navy officials and reviewing new documents.<\/p>\n

Dollars earmarked for U.S. Navy payrolls were being moved, according to The Guardian, to cover costs associated with President Donald Trump\u2019s deeply unpopular<\/u> war against Iran, a conflict that has drained<\/u> the United States\u2019 supply of munitions stockpiles. A Pentagon memo reviewed by the outlet warns of \u201cshortfalls in payroll\u201d accounts for U.S. service members due to Pentagon \u201craiding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe piggy bank is broken,\u201d said Harlan Ullman<\/u>, a retired U.S. Navy officer and military academic, speaking with The Guardian. <\/p>\n

Another U.S. Navy official who spoke with The Guardian on the condition of anonymity revealed the \u201cimaginative\u201d workarounds being employed to circumvent payroll shortfalls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe money for payroll was robbed to pay for overseas contingencies and is being backfilled by money that hasn\u2019t been spent,\u201d the U.S. Navy official said. \u201cThey are backfilling payroll so we get enough money in our paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a U.S. Navy spokesperson dismissed reports that U.S. Navy payrolls were at risk of falling short, the \u201ccash shortage\u201d within the branch was \u201cno secret,\u201d The Guardian reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re just not speaking publicly about it,\u201d said Todd Harrison<\/u>, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute<\/u>, a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I suspect that is a deliberate decision of the civilian leaders in the Pentagon, starting at secretary, that this is for political reasons, that they don\u2019t want to look like they\u2019re damaging future military readiness over a war that is becoming increasingly a political liability.\u201d<\/p>\n

One former military officer who now works for a U.S. Navy contracting company and was \u201cbriefed on the shortfalls\u201d was far more bleak in his assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re f—–,\u201d the former officer said, speaking with The Guardian on the condition of anonymity. \u201cThey shot all their weapons; they trashed all their ships; they ran out of their money.\u201d<\/p>\n
