I agree that the military should be subject to reasonable cuts that are done with forethought and managed over time.
Please read the article I posted in #4 and again above.
What people fail to understand (even here on FR, much less our general public) is that the military has been sacrificed.
The military is under a triple fiscal assault: Sequestration, the 2011 cuts of $487 Billion, and the Continuing Resolution shortfalls.
As the author of that piece (a former naval officer) opined, Congress and the President have been "piling on."
The bravest, most noble institution in American has been mauled the hardest, and the fiscal tragedy that is being visited upon the US military will grow more ominous every single day from now on.
Hannity and other misinformed serial repeater propagandists will tell us over and over again this is about "White House Tours" and "only a 2.4% cut." The military is being systematically destroyed. Obama is an evil man.
The Republicans are traitors.
From now on, I will refer to the traitors by their proper middle names:
John Iscariot Boehner
Paul Iscariot Ryan
Eric Iscariot Cantor
