Navy using munitions at ‘alarming’ speed to defend Israel

“We do, sir,” Kilby responded, “but we are, to your point, using them at an alarming rate. As you know, those are missiles procured by the Missile Defense Agency and then delivered to the Navy for our use. And we are using them quite effectively in the defense of Israel.”

Even naval vessels aren’t safe from anti-DEI purges—funny how the same crowd that raged over base renamings under Biden is now fully committed to historical revisionism.
