Congressman Auchincloss is a Major in the Marine reserves and a member of the Defense Spending Reduction Caucus. A statement from the congressman can be found below: “The Pentagon is the biggest bureaucracy in the world, and I have never seen a bureaucracy in business or government that could not do 10 percent more with 10 percent less. “I loved my time in the Marines and deeply respect the imperative for a strong & growing U.S. military, but I have always believed that the Pentagon should be spending smarter, not bigger. I cannot support this NDAA because it does not make progress on that front.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:32:05Z |
