THESE ARE THE AMERICAN MILITARY FORCES THAT WERE ELIMINATED DURING THE ADMINISTRATION OF BILL CLINTON AND AL GORE.
AND [their elimination] was 100% SUPPORTED BY JOHN KERRY (THESE HE DID VOTE ON) SLEEP WELL!
This is not a new message, but a reminder of why we now have over-deployed our National Guard and Reserve Units.
KERRY SAID CHECK THE RECORD
Sen. John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts says he is the strongest Presidential Candidate on National Defense ! He said Check the Record..
We Did !
Here is what we learned:
He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
He voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988
He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle
He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
He voted to Kill the B-1
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system
He voted to Kill the FA-18
He voted to Kill the B-2
He voted to Kill the F117
He voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988,including a bill for battle armor for our troops.
It is most likely, with Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, that they will cease to function making it impossible for our country to protect itself. John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government.
He voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%.
He voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80%.
He voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%.
THEN, and this is abhorrent to almost every American Voter be you Democrat, Republican or Independent, he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800% !
Ask yourself Is THIS the person you want as President of these United States providing for the Common Defense of the Nation And be the Leader of the Free World ?

If regular people knew the real devastation that the Clinton's and the democrats caused by cutting out the legs from underneath our Troops with their budget cuts, there would be an uproar of Biblical proportions.
In my opinion, the worst thing that they have caused to the Army is the reduction in the number of Divisions which has resulted in an increase of individual deployments to hostile areas.
It is absolutely outrageous when certain Democrats claim to support the Troops after the damage they have wrought with their incredibly short sighted votes.
Their votes have resulted in the deaths of certain of our Troops, and yet they still have the unmitigated gall to justify themselves.
I am not fond of professional politicians, but most especially I despise the lying hypocritical Democrat members of both houses of Congress.
EXCELLENT POSTING! If the 9/11 Commission was really bipartisan, they would have pointed this out in their final report. But 'Rat minions on the panel wouldn't allow it in an election year, knowing it would lead to a Republican landslide in 2004.
Bill Clinton's (anti)defense policies did more than weaken America's military strength and national security. His actions, with John F'n Kerry's support, contributed to the destruction of the Twin Towers in NYC on September 11, 2001.
The more amazing is that Clinton and his team economic gurus still managed to run the economy into the ground and orchestrated the 1929-scale stock market crash.
And under Clinton admin Justice Department was more concerned with pursuing any man,woman,and child that had both gun and bible while ignoring terrorist threats. This will return under Kerry.
I absolutely believe that these guys are purposely out to destroy the USA.
I see the libs are already tearing this article apart in USENET
