Nah. We’ll just go back to the Clinton years when a soldier had the TANK sign pinned on.

[DoodleDawg]

There is no mention of Entitlements...

No, it is Congress that divided spending into discretionary and non-discretionary. I don't see them having the courage to change it.

[okie01]

I don't see them having the courage to change it.

I don't either.

But not changing it is a dereliction of duty.

Toto, we’re not in Sparta any more...

[tet68]

By all means, go to a defense posture from 70 years
ago. Madness.

"We're still going to have a very significant-sized Army," an official said. "But it's going to be agile. It will be capable. It will be modern. It will be trained."

It will be...

That's because he's gearing up DHS and other Gestapo to fight American’s

Great. An America made up of entitlement-sucking weaklings and a hollow Army to defend it.

Why don’t we just offer ourselves up now and get it over with.

God I hate liberals - just hate them with a passion for what they’ve done to this country.

How bad can this get? On Pearl Harbor Day there were more New York City cops than United States Marines and we know how that turned out.

[bigdaddy45]

We had plenty of tanks during the Clinton years.

The A10 is my favorite flying machine. RIP, Warthog.

All in order to transfer money to the Free S*** Army (Obama’s beloved Gimmie Brigades).

Nor would I, but we need a realistic DOD budget with the PORK palm greasing gone and raises for our Troops especially the lower enlisted. And to take care of of Veterans. You can see the palm greasing in the first article. And the plans for our Active and Retired in the rest. Along with other social programs Fraud and Abuse. There are so many articles on FR on Medicare cuts that some conservative local papers and msm did report. $7 Trillion over 20 yrs. And if you are the unlucky souls like we are Medicare/Tricare Life, you have the worst rationed health ins there is. And not way out.

Not only do we pay for them to be born here, then there is the food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, cell phones, school and the Judicial system and I am sure many more we could add that ILLEGAL INVADERS are not entitled to.

Wait until they have to start Drafting, some 18 year old male will SUE the pants off over the Equal Rights issue. Women stuck their noses under the camel’s tent by insisting on going into combat, they will also have to be forced to register for the Draft.

If memory serves unless we are at war like WW1,, 2 or Nam around 1-2% OF AMERICANS EVER ENLIST.

Any one both male or female who wants to run for any public office should do a 4 year tour of duty starting as a E1 despite education level, and no outside help from rich parents. Let them find out how BAD it is for the lower ranks.

Our inland Navy base Millington TN was a training base, a few years ago they turned it into BUPERS paper pushers. Before we had 1 top Brass, now we have 12. Commissary cost as much as Kroger’s minus the 4.75 extra sales tax, Exchange only carries mostly top designer stuff like a Vera Wang wallet is $200, only the Brass can afford that crap.

Hubby is Ret SCPO who taught A/B schools there, when he was not at sea or posted in Japan. Couple of those sea duties was on the Midway part of the fleet that helped pull the Ambassador out of Nam, and off the Coast of Cuba during the Missile Crisis.
