Budget cuts ? Give me a break
Something is very wrong with this picture .
America needs to WAKE UP
Unfortunately, the number of female and rainbow RAMBOs will only increase by percentage.
I got an idea, how bout we defund the NSA and let Booz Allen find another nipple.
I bet you won’t see them cutting any DHS forces.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) has been advised one of three STRYKER brigades are getting cut.
Just the start.
Russia building their Forces.
China building their forces.
Iran building a Nuke and their forces.
Mid East in an uproar.
N Korea a threat.. Obama’s answer. Cut our forces by 80,000
Fill that 80,000 with Super Combat women, and queers. Invite Syrian refugees, allow anything and anybody to cross our borders.Offer to cut our Nuclear defenses. Go on a 100 million dollar vacation.
Well, the Obama vacation(s) and Muslim Brotherhood supporting money has got to come from somewhere.
In times like these a shrinking standing army might not be the worst thing.
Unfortunately, Congress, particularly the “conservative” House, doesn’t seem to give a damn.
Due to the homosexualization and the feminization of the military I believe the Defense department is necessarily replacing most of the ground combat strength with drones, including all Spec Forces. ow successful that is will be seen. It may bring some spectacular early success but it leaves us with the same old problem, close control of real estate. Ultimately I think drones will prove far mor effective in suppression of domestic dissent than in winning external wars. That is a major developing mission of the 21st Century military anyhow, suppression of internal dissent.The armed forces of the USA are evolving toward a wholly electronicised Army,Navy, and Air Force and infantry power will be provided by the armed Agencies, esoecuakkt TSA abd FEMA, probably as separate arms to be checks against each other in the new balancing of powers.
The Brigades being cut:
3d Brigade, 1st Armored Division, Ft. Bliss, TX
4th Brigade, 82d Airborne Division, Ft. Bragg, NC
4th Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, Ft. Campbell, KY
3d Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Ft. Carson, CO
3d Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, Ft. Drum, NY
4th Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, Ft. Hood, TX
3d Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Ft. Knox, KY
4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, Ft. Riley, KS
2d Brigade, 3d Infantry Division, Ft. Stewart, GA
4th Brigade, 2d Infantry Division, Jt. Base Lewis-McChord
Also the 170th and 172d Infantry Brigades in Germany who are already undergoing inactivation.
Unaffected are the 25th Infantry Division (2 Brigades in Hawaii, 2 in Alaska); the 2d Cavalry Regiment, Germany; the 3d Cavalry Regiment, Ft. Hood; and the 173d Airborne Brigade, Italy. Each remaining brigade will have 3 maneuver battalions instead of the current 2, and the engineer battalions come back to the brigades. The total cuts include 6 heavy brigades, 5 light brigades, and 1 Stryker brigade. Expect some reflagging at battalion and brigade level as the sort this all out. The addition of the 3d maneuver battalion is a good thing, but the overall reduction of the Army makes it more likely that some country hostile to our interests will attempt to intimidate us.
33 brigades, when you consider aviation, engineer, and artillery, will probably be the equivalent of 7 divisions.
Seven divisions is barely sufficient to fight a one front war against a relatively inadequate enemy.
