China ups military spend by 12 percent. Are the gloves coming off?

With a smaller military maybe we’ll mind our own business. And hope like hell we don’t get attacked here. We’re broke yet going around bailing other countries out of their mess. Why is it always us that has to do something? Plus, I’m tired of Americans dieing in wars that they fight with at least one hand tied behind their backs.

It’s way past time for Europe, Israel, Japan and S. Korea to man up and defend themselves.

Most of our platforms and equipment will be older, and our advantages in some domains will have eroded. Our loss of depth across the force could reduce our ability to intimidate opponents from escalating conflicts

We did not defeat the Germans in WWII because we had superior equipment or “platforms”. The Germans and the Japanese had excellent war equipment. We defeated them because we fought to win. We had leaders both Political and Military that made the hard decisions and did what was necessary to win. We do not have any leaders like that anymore...........

I am thankful that I accepted Jesus Christ for my Lord and Savior. According to what I am understanding, this year starts Gods warning on the world with four blood red moons and we might just have a rapture of the Saints and could be soon.

I am looking for Jesus return and feel bad for those who don't want Jesus on the throne of their life. Their loss and our gain.

Gonna get real interesting when Putin and the Gang of Chinese lay aside their age old differences and form the next big co-prosperity sphere.

Would it help if we paid our soldiers in bitcoins?

That’s budget growth. Let’s wring out the waste in our military. We’re being played by the MI Complex.

So just how expensive is it to lose a war and become a nation of slaves? I fear we are about to find out. God help us!

1. Not enough gays are joining the military.
2. Nowhere close to having enough trannies to win the next war.
3. The military still has too large a carbon footprint.
4. Not enough women prepared for front line duty.
5. The military is still not welcoming enough to Muslims.
6. A shockingly large percentage of armed forces training is directed at military action rather than peacekeeping and social development.

How can we ever possibly hope to keep up with the Chinese and the Russians with our military in such a deplorable state!

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

Now there's one RAT bastard traitor that I would love to give a really good hard boot in the ass....he is an 0dumb0 stooge through & through. I would love to ask him, during Benghazi when he was in the room with 0dumb0, Hillary, Panetta & Biden, why in the world did Dempsey sit there like a bump on a log and never once did Dempsey bring up the subject or recommend going in with reinforcements to help the 4 trapped Americans. What a RAT bastard traitor he is!
