SecDef Hagel just opened his remarks with thanks to an underling named Hale for creating this budget and wishing him a happy and well deserved retirement which hale is beginning forthwith.

Translation: the buck stops with a Pentagon retiree.

John Bolton and Ollie North are slamming this budget on Fox right now.

Here’s why its being cut. No mystery!

June 6, 2013, the 69th anniversary of “D-Day”, the largest invasion ever
attempted, where 200,000 Americans stormed the beaches at Normandy to begin
the final push to defeat Nazi Germany in WWII. D-Day marked the turning
point in WWII in Europe, where the Nazis were engaged in mass murder of Jews
and minorities by the thousands.

Today, European heads of state make it a point to recall and honor the
sacrifices of those who landed in Normandy, as do our Presidents....
well, most of them....

In the 69 years since D-Day, there are four occasions when the President of
the United States chose not to visit the D-Day Monument that honors the
soldiers killed during the Invasion.

The occasions were:

1. Barack Obama, 2010
2. Barack Obama, 2011
3. Barack Obama, 2012
4. Barack Obama, 2013

For the past 69 years, every American President except Obama have taken the
time to honor the memory and sacrifices of the 6,000 American soldiers
killed on D-Day. ....Except Obama!

June 6 2010, Obama had no events scheduled.

June 6, 2011, Obama met with the National Security team and was interviewed
by WEWS Cleveland and WDIV in Detroit about the auto industry - FAR too busy
to visit the D-Day memorial.

June 6, 2012, instead of honoring our fallen soldiers, Obama made a campaign
trip to California on Air Force 1 (at our expense) to raise funds for (his)
upcoming election.

June 6, 2013, Obama was doing ANOTHER fund raiser with the multimillionaires
in the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee in Palo Alto CA, once again
at our expense.

Aren’t you proud?
