The Pentagon released its findings from its Quadrennial Defense Review today. This review focuses mainly on defining and identifying weak points in U.S. defenses, and prescriptions for improvements in those areas. The plan proposes a 4.8\% boost to the DOD budget, eliminates no major weapons programs and includes an 8 percent overall increase for weapons (to  $84 billion) for the budget year starting Sept. 30. This review excludes the Energy Department's nuclear weapons programs.
