You make my point (and I already knew the answer).
Korea and Vietnam underwent a slow and orderly shift from primarily supplemental funding to budgeted funding.
The Gulf War didn't run over a budget cycle. The Clinton-era war efforts started with supplemental funding, and moved towards primarily budgeted funding.
Supplemental/emergency funding falls outside normal budgeting rules. I don't see how that's at all a positive thing from a fiscally conservative viewpoint.
