The problem is meddling lawyers.
It is to the point where we can have no limited war.
The tyranny of the lawyers will kill us
The US Military will have its hands tied behind its back after two years of Obama.
1. The military budget will be cut by at least 25% and possibly 50%, not including WOT outlays and cuts to SDI and Future Combat Systems/F-22/F-35 programs.
2. Personnel may go up initially, but will also be cut when funds dry up. If you can’t pay the soldiers, you can’t have them.
3. There will be heavy ROE restrictions. Commanders will need a lawyer to conduct operations, and will need to collect evidence like a cop. They will also be required to mirandize captured terrorists.
