Liberalism and anti-Americanism continues. The Congress ignores while America burns.
The rat bastards. I hate these guys.
time to start arresting the traitors in DC
Translation: Dominance of US military "will no longer be tolerated" (by the Obama regime)
It's time ALL Americans understand that IS what they're saying
This ba$tard is a so called republican, may he burn in hell.
The plans have the endorsement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Whoa! That makes me feel so much better. What more could you ask for than the endorsement of five political hacks and sycophants? I mean, is that not the best recommendation one could ask for - five guys who have demonstrated their ability to put advancement over country?
Bastards.

-- Barack Hussein Obama
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian
national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as
well-funded."
“It would eliminate the Air Force’s A-10 “Warthog” attack jets, which provide ground troops with close air support. That would save $3.5 billion over five years, Hagel said.”
I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have to think that a rugged, low-cost to operate and maintain attack craft that can carry a lot of goodies under its wings still has some uses. If anything, I’d modernize ‘em (glass cockpit, all-weather capability) not retire them.
“It will also invest $26 billion in what officials are calling an “Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative” that would be used for modernization.”
What would that be more “Muslim Outreach” like with the space program?
These people don’t vote for Democrats. You can’t expect them to be treated like illegal immigrants or Obamaphone holders.
"But it is still possible
So let us weaken it, cut it down in size and reduce its capability.
That way we can be sure."
Are you freakin' kidding me?? Even with those raises the avarage military guy still earns way less than any civilian counterpart.
Cut somewhere else, Knucklehead. These people are too valuable to US interests. Cut the EPA, Dept. of Agriculture, Energy, and/or Education.
Close air support is the game changer in a ground war.
Obama wants to eliminate close air support for US ground forces to reduce our ability to project power on the ground.
That's because Obama has done his best to kill growth in the private sector in the last 5 years.
Let's compare it to growth in welfare, food stamps, etc.
Active duty Army will be 420,000?
That’s a round off error in the People’s Liberation Army.
If they decide to pick a fight, means we go nuclear on Day 1.
Might have something with driving Fairchild Republic out of business.
And having to give Boeing billions to do the wing update.
Republic would have been able to do it on a sustaining engineering contract...but no, they hadda be dumped.
Costs you know. Gotta pay more billons for the children of illegals.
