Are they going to mothball them, or sell them to China? Or better yet, Homeland security?

Obama might sell them to the Chinese, the Chinese are building Aircraft Carriers now.
They can use them when they attack Taiwan or Japan, with Obama’s blessing.

NObama’s plan is coming to fruition.
To: G Larry
Thanks Larry. If he’s bluffing, we’re together on this.
Hagel is a long ways from my favorite guy, however our military is beung dissembled at this time, and I’m very wary of it.

UpChuck is being the same old douchebag that he was as a senator. Worst choice ever for SecDef. Panetta was less of a dick-licker for obama than he is.

I’ll bet if they cut just 25% off the bloated EBT giveaways instead, they would have more than enough money to fund whatever carriers and personnel we need.

Obamaphones are partly
Rubio-Phones As part of the Immigration debate, it was revealed that TracFone is in Senator Rubio's district in Florida (which is why he strongly supports it and helped put it into the Immigration bill.
Not that Obama does not deserve credit as well.

Anyone who dry dock 3 of our carriers is not a friend of America.

Might I add:
Allowed more domestic drilling for tax revenue
Allow keystone pipeline
Give corps a tax free holiday to bring rev back stateside
Drop corp tax rate below most other developed nations
Sell off U.S. land holdings
Repeal EPA regs that hamstring business
End carrer un-employment.
Oh, and a two year-moratorium on selling T-bills or until the budget is balanced.
There ya go.

It didn’t stop Obupkis from sending $500 million to the P. A. and Hamas. It’s easy to see where his allegiance lies.

Well RINO Chuck, perhaps you need to find a way to cut some of the waste in the Navy. Start with cutting every faggot loving program there is. Then follow that up with cutting programs that waste money on that death cult, Islam.

Me too-almost 50 years, now working in OSD as a furloughed GS-15. The cuts Hagel listed are worst-case:
Army to as low as 350,000 soldiers,
Marines to 150,000,
Air Force cut fighter squadrons and retire old bombers (Buffs? B-2s?—who knows—it’s the USAF!)
Navy to 8 CV strike groups.
Forces haven’t been that small since 1950. Remember what happened that year?
