"The Air Force on Friday detailed plans to cut the service by nearly 10,000 active, National Guard and Reserve airmen next year, as part of a broad move to downsize and shift capabilities around the country to be better prepared for wars of the future."

After reading the article, I'm not too concerned it's mostly about cutting back on the National Guard and repositioning assets. Even with the latest defense cuts over some 10 years, the budget will still allow the 2nd biggest expenditures to our defense, after HHS expenditures. Of course, HHS monies are outrageous. Still, I'm not really worried.

A huge part of our GDP goes into defense research, production, payroll, etc., and always will. Yes, even with the commies in the Legislature and the Executive branch, there are those who will not allow us to become defenseless.

Here's a happy thought: Think Trident submarines. No one knows where they are, and no one knows what their target package is. Yeah, I know, the Muslims don't subscribe to MAD because they just don't give a shit about themselves nor their children. But that will be resolved with other means - watch Israel in the coming year.

That's good to hear. I wonder how many people had to knock the Kenyan down and sit on him to keep him from blabbing all about the subs to the media, Russia, China, Iran and the Muslim brotherhood. Or maybe our DoD had sense enough to not tell him.
