BREAKING: Donald Trump's war on Iran has forced the U.S. Navy to take money from its own sailors' paychecks to keep the conflict going — a financial meltdown that has left the military scrambling, per The Guardian. A Pentagon memo warns of "shortfalls in payroll" accounts after the department raided them to finance combat operations. One Navy official said: "The money for payroll was robbed to pay for overseas contingencies." Non-emergency maintenance has already been postponed. "The piggy bank is broken," said retired naval officer Harlan Ullman. The war has depleted munitions, wrecked Middle Eastern bases, and left a $67 billion emergency funding request stalled in Congress. Trump launched the war on February 28. The Navy's $300 billion budget didn't account for it. Now sailors' paychecks are being cannibalized to keep it going.
