" our active duty army could be reduced to around 450,000 troops, from the approximately 565,000 we now have. Our Department of Defense civilian work force can also be cut by 5% to 7% of its current size."

Cut the number of warriors by 20% and the number of civilians by 5-7%. More dependence on the Guard and Reserves. Just a couple years ago they wanted to add troops to the Army.

I'm not buying any of this. If they want to cut the military they are just going to have to cut down the number of places we are fighting. It is pure and simple.

Even more critical is to stop nation building in foreign lands, using money borrowed from China. I can’t think of anything more foolhardy and dumb.
