Obama wants the DoD cut by over a trillion anyway, and so do Senate Democrats.

[Levante]

How about we cut those DAMNED entitlement programs?

Eliminate ANY AID for illegals?

And CUT the President’s and Congress’ salary and benefits FIRST?

The Obama administration is using the threat of military spending cuts to hold the Republicans in congress hostage and force them to accept tax increases as part of the debt deal. They are essentially holding a gun to a kitten (the militarys) head and telling Republicans, vote for tax increases or we kill this kitten.

"In describing the kind of Army he wants, Panetta quoted the famous Gen. George Patton: “An Army … that can hold an enemy by the nose and kick them in the ass.”

Patton would slap this leftist pissant for quoting him like that.

[SaxxonWoods]

It’s disquieting to hear a liberal worry about sufficient funding for the military.

Then again, it’s a kneejerk reaction for bureaucrats to protect their turf.

Defense cuts? Clinton and the USA got away with them.

Until September of 2001.

From the article:
“To that end, Army Chief of Staff Raymond Odierno told the same conference on Monday that he expects the service will dip from its current size of over 560,000 active-duty troops to below 520,000 troops as budgets shrink and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars wind down.”

The DoJ has stated publicly, there are ‘at least’ 1 million active gang bangers in the US (900,000 gangs in urban areas and another 100K in prisions)

So, there are more gang bangers than we have Army troops - damn, that makes me feel realllll safe.

So, there are more gang bangers than we have Army troops - damn, that makes me feel realllll safe.
