Topic: General John Allen

General Daniel Allen and General John Paxton testify before the Armed Forces Appropriations Committee regarding military readiness and budget shortfalls. General Allen expresses discomfort with the "trajectory of the drawdown," while General Paxton uses the term "bench strength" to describe the lack of surge capacity in the Marine Corps. The hosts criticize the use of sports jargon and the Pentagon's inability to account for trillions of dollars in spending.

General John Allen appears on "60 Minutes" to discuss the rise of "green on blue" or insider attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. The hosts speculate that the high-profile reporting on these attacks is a setup to justify an early withdrawal of troops before the 2014 deadline.
