With al Qaeda on the rise
(after the undocumented Tyrant declared otherwise)
how could this be wise?
Meanwhile, China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran - among others - sharpen their knives and drool.
Well, handing out the cash of hard-working Americans in order to purchase the votes of the legions of Leftists with their hands out for other people’s money is darned expensive.
No doubt America can’t afford both guns and slops, both.
It’s time for a return of our army back to its traditional small size which is consistent both with our needs and our oldest republican foundations.
In a normal circumstance, I would be seriously bothered, but I think the possibility of Obama using the military against the People is high, so I am not that upset.
Still, I am sure he will reshape the military to focus on domestic discontent.
Zero hired Hagel for one purpose. To carry out his destruction of the USA!
- In 2009, he cut the military by $330 Billion (over ten years) to help pay for his "stimulus" criminal payoff/giveaway.
- In 2012, he cut the military by another $487 Billion (again, supposed to be spread out over ten years)
- In 2013, Sequestration kicked in, and is cutting the military by about another $600 Billion (again, over ten years); the $600 Billion figure is even with the "temporary budget relief" it got last December
All those cuts overlapped. Now, Obama has ordered Hagel to slash even more.
Many Tea Party types cheered on Sequestration, even though the military (at around 17 or 18% of the entire budget) must "pay for" 50% of the cuts.
The "pivot to Asia" rhetoric is all lie and a smokescreen to divert attention from the massive cuts that the military is actually taking. Obama's DoD isn't "pivoting" to anywhere except the scrap yard and the unemployment line.
Mark my words, this is going to be a disaster for this nation. War is coming soon, between Israel and her barbarian neighbors.
The Middle East will catch fire, and oil prices will skyrocket, further ruining our economy. We may even see a previously unfathomable nuclear exchange in the world, very, very soon.
Evil nations throughout the world may take advantage and start their own wars of massive genocide and aggression.
We are long past any "tipping" points with our military- we have already started the long, hopeless fall into the abyss.
Why not go back to post WWI levels, so we’re totally unprepared as we were then?
How's that for dulling the edge of the sword?
After that is done, it is complete. He can then make his move on the general population.
Another 70,000 people added to the unemployment roles.
But it really isn't about competence. 0bama knows exactly what he's doing.
If only we could roll the size and scope of the Federal Government back to Pre-WWll levels.
We would all be much better off.
Well . . . that should make the Birchites, Pat Buchanan, and Lew Rockwell happy.
I have a feeling about the whole defense cut issue as presented. I think the reduction in forces is something the left really wants. I believe the reduction in benefits for active duty and future recruits is something the left really wants. They will get both with help from the RINOs. The RINOs will be thinking they look like heros by agreeing to it. Why do they think that? Because I also think the reductions in benefits to veterans is a smoke screen Boehner and McConnell asked for and will get. The RINOs will be outraged by the whole thing but the left will concede to the RINOs on the veterans issues and the RINOs will declare it a victory. Then the RINOs will support and pass immigration reform. The Dems will gain full control of congress in the 2014 mid-terms and a Dem will win the White House in 2016. The fix is in. We will be the diminished nation that Barry’s daddy dreamed of.
So many aspects of this, I’ll try to keep my comments to just a few.
I do agree with Cheney on the hypocrisy of Obama’s actions, and with the knowledge that the defense budget is only a teeny percent of overall spending on “entitlements” of every kind.
However, lots of advancement in technology makes it possible for us to send a clear message without involving boots on the ground - but any any cuts in defense personnel “NOW” are no good unless we are training replacements right away, because it’s not easy or fast to ramp up defense.
The problem is that we’ll have to regard who’s left as Obama tools on domestic soil, rather than as -beloved- veterans who know how to manage conflicts and defeat an enemy - foreign or domestic.
kennedy was taken out for a lot less. just noting history.
funsa
Well, normally I’d be outraged and infuriated by this.
But when I think about it...
Considering that commanding officers have been replaced by Obama’s chosen and the rank and file are a large number of homosexuals, and considering that perhaps a reduced military might prevent idiot politicians from entering wars they have no intention of winning or no idea of how to win...
And further considering that I have read reports that our military is being instructed that those of us who love the constitution are the enemy...
Maybe it isn’t such bad thing.
Well, sure. He knows food stamps are a vote-buying scam favoring Democrats so he believes the military is a vote-buying scam favoring Republicans.
