Folloqing in Clinton's footprints.
The size of the U.S. military has been cut drastically in the past decade.
Between 1992 and 2000, the Clinton Administration cut national defense by more than half a million personnel and $50 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars. The Army alone has lost four active divisions and two Reserve divisions. The number of total active personnel in the Air Force has decreased by nearly 30 percent. In the Navy, the total number of ships has decreased from around 393 ships in the fleet in 1992 to 316 today. Even the Marines have dropped 22,000 personnel.
He did all of this, and during that time the WTC was bombed, the USS Cole was bombed, and Bin Laden was handed to him on a platter.

Present Obama is just continuing the work of fellow travelers that came before him.
