By design. That's what happens when a Muslim Brother-hoodie is elected CIC.

Deliberate policy by President Obama.

Either he does not understand power politics, or he dismisses it as wrong.

He is delusional or malevolent, or both.

“”the Army’s readiness is not at a level that is appropriate for what the American people expect to defend them.””

No it’s not. But, after Korea and Vietnam you won’t see large scale American troops on mainland Asia anytime soon.

Actually this goes back to Clinton. GWB and Obbie did not correct the problem

Don’t just blame him. Bush and Clinton probably contributed even more.

But 115 lb girls are allowed to impose themselves on combat units, which means are military is "fair" and "just," so we win by default, right?

Remember what Mabis said when he flicked the Marine Corps study into the trash can -- "The study is wrong, because diversity ALWAYS makes us stronger."

After 12 years of Dem’s killing our best options for maintaining a lead, what should we expect.

Note: In a program’s infancy, the select committees only need ONE vote to kill it.

Nuclear powers shouldn’t let themselves get into direct armed conflicts with each other. It wouldn’t end well. That’s why they use proxies in proxy wars.

We’ve just been told we will be defeated. They don’t usually say that.
