Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned Thursday that if the United States defaults on its loans, it will harm the readiness of U.S. troops.
Milley said that if Congress and the White House fail to reach an agreement in the debt limit negotiations, it would negatively affect the military and have"unambiguous implications" on national security.
Milley's comments echo sentiments shared by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this month. However, a default would be unprecedented, and it is not clear what would be affected first. Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations, also warned of the dangers of a default, saying he believed a default could be"catastrophic" for U.S. forces.
