Totally Obama's choice.
He's holding the military hostage over getting his way, plain and simple. The press will tear-jerk and 'splain away as the Republican's fault, and the GOPe will accept it with more tears from Boner.
But at least here, let us know that the entire thing is an Obama trick.
I’m convinced now what he is doing to those of us in the military now is on purpose. There is no other rational explanation.
Repeal of DADT...allowing women into the infantry and armor branches and now allowing the “spouses” of gay couples to have ID cards and benefits.
Combine that with the looming 500 billion in cuts making us a hollow force reminiscent of the Carter years decreases in our benefits and a paltry 1% pay raise proposed for FY 2014.
This is...in my personal opinion...a purposeful attempt to break the morale and will of our armed forces.
This Administration and 99.9% of the Libtards today see the military as the execution tool of all the evil that America has spread around the world since we were founded. So just as America has to be taken down a notch...so too must her military. By whatever means necessary.
There is no other way to explain it.
And in the mean time all of our enemies are gearing up and improving their militaries. Why? Because they know we have been put in a position where we can’t oppose them.
Not that this administration actually wants to stop them...
Its what they do. And what we have not learned to do. Political expertise, they have it we don't.
The bent axel,plouffe et. all, set up a scenario where the left got no budget cuts or sequestration.They never ever cut anything. Why would they? We are too easy a mark.
Under sequestration the commies have a list of six or eight key liberal causes where all the old people, children, or whomever will all die or suffer terribly if any of their funding is cut. Budget cuts(actually reductions in the increases) are miraculously always dire.They are never able to be worked out,never four day weeks instead of five. Just for grins they throw in military cuts as dire as well knowing our side hates cuts in the military.
The fact that huge budget deficits threatening the future of our kids or buying our own debt is never under consideration because once again we let them set the agenda...again.....is even more depressing.
You gotta wonder if we will ever learn.
