The proposed cuts that really make me want to puke the most are to the Navy. Aegis cruisers and destroyers are probably the most valuable pieces of military hardware we have as far as theater offense and defense. The more tomahawks and SM-3 missiles we have parked off the DPRK and the PRC; the better our chances are of knocking down any ballistic missiles and quickly taking out key military targets if need be. The Zumwalt class destroyers will be our first strike backbone, and there are talks of shelving that whole line. Playing with fire.
