The U.S. military is shedding so many troops and weapons it is only “marginally able” to defend the nation and falls short of the Obama administration’s national security strategy, says a new report by The Heritage Foundation Tuesday.
“The U.S. military itself is aging. It’s shrinking in size,” said Dakota Wood, a Heritage analyst. “And it’s quickly becoming problematic in terms of being able to address more than one major conflict.”

All part of his grand plan...
His legacy by design
I can’t bring myself to post the photo of the gay soldiers kissing.
Yes
Shrinking? Hardly. Why, soon the ‘transgendered’ can fill the ranks. /heavy sarc
..and Yes
This is what Obama wants! I blame the moron voters who voted for this administration....twice. Dumb Democrats.
Well among Ash Carters early comments was welcoming trannys and every other confused sexual identity cast to join up. Its gonna be one big butlicking military.... Not all that sure the country is worth defending anymore anyway.
That’s funny.
I blame Republicans; after all it’s they who can’t find the stones to capitalize on a no-lose political situation, much less stand for something on principle.
Move along, komrad. Nothing to see here...
nearly a job done then for him.
He’s never liked the military and because of his communist upbringing then he will see to it that the military will be so inept for years to come.
I am of the opinion that the selective service needs to be marginally trained. The idea would be that one day per year, during their birth month, selective service registrants will report to a location where they will be:
- given a quick health assessment
- update their registration with their contact information, skills, etc
- basic class in first aid
- basic class in firearms (how to load, unload, shoot, disassemble, assemble)
- class in the current process for call up
- recruiting pitch for the military
Then give them $50 and send them on their way. 16 million are currently registered with the selective service. This would go a long way to shortening the training cycle for a recruit.
With the faggotization of the military, and the degenerate leadership that wrought it, I no longer have any faith or confidence in our armed forces. Even the “uniform” doesn’t command the respect from me that it once did, now that the institution has become so morally degraded.
But at least we have transsexual infantrywomen/men.
cross dressing, homosexuals, women on submarines, women coming back pregnant all the time now.
To fairy boy the military was there for his social agenda.
Same here
The irony is that the main communist countries--Russia and China--see the value of strong militaries. Was this export communism, just to weaken the US, or are Russia and China no longer communist enough for a true believer like Obama?
He confuses the hell out of me... because if Islam is primary in his mind, rather than Communism, well, they like big armies, too. But, then, maybe he's willing to die for his cause (whichever one it is), and take the rest of us with it. Because, if Putin, or ISIS triumph, his head will surely end up on a pike.
