My husband just passed away on Nov. 4th. He did 3 tours in Korea and 2 in Nam. I could not post what he thought about Obama and Hagel.
During the conference, current and former Defense officials, as well as members of Congress, spoke about the need to approve Pentagon budgets and lift the across-the-board government spending cuts known as the sequester. "You can't expect this country to maintain a strong military if we aren't maintaining some kind of common-sense budgeting," Leon Panetta, the former Defense secretary, said at the forum. "We are sending a message that the United States is going to be weak and that is the wrong message to send." If Congress doesn't agree to lift the sequester, the Pentagon faces $52 billion in cuts in January. About $41 billion was cut this year from military spending.
Betraying our military who give (and have given) more than anyone else in this nation, while we are rewarding the Takers of this nation who have never lifted one finger for America.
Cutting the DoD by $437 Billion even before the $650 Billion in Sequestration cuts, and yet there are still so-called "Conservatives" here who claim the Sequester had "zero effect."
We have our GOP leader in the Senate who has become the nation's #1 cheerleader for the Sequester, and he is going around bragging about it.
Ronald Reagan must be rolling over in his grave.
