That’s the problem. Cutting back on the military is sending the world EXACTLY the message that Obama wants to send.
We are being set up for an ambush
Of course it’s the wrong thing to do; why else would 0bama do it? Other than giving the go ahead to get osama, 0bama has done exactly the opposite of what the right thing to do is/was.
It is a really good time to reconsider our endless commitments abroad and foreign entanglements that do nothing to enhance the security of the United States.

In general, I don’t believe that an unlimited budget to defense is a good idea. However, what we have here is defense cuts for reasons that are ideological as opposed to practical or tactical. The money that would have been spent on defense will now be spent on buying votes through welfare transfers instead of being returned to the taxpayers.
A champagne lifestyle on a lemonade income has never been a conservative moral value, hasn’t it?
Whatever cut may be on the table, the U.S. defense budget will remain far greater than the China’s.
The curse of the Americal Division continues.
First it was LT William Calley and now it’s SP4 Chuck Hagel.
That’s the message the Progressives/LibTurds/Pacifist/PoloiRats have sent that ultimately got us involved in every war since Civil War.
Like something an islamist would do. What a surprise.
Looks to me like the traitors in DC are setting the table for the muslims and commies to take territory and lives without a challenge from a strong US military.
Ratchet up unemployment, which gives them reasons to ratchet up even more spending on social programs, which gives them reasons to cut "unnecessary" spending on things like national defense.
One can tell the giant is close to bleeding out when even the Post Office gets a big ammo budget while the military loses theirs.
With the kind of people we have in charge in Washington,D.C., who needs enemies?
Israel should buy all the A10s and offer jobs to the fliers.
All those displaced soldiers will be useful come next election time for the Conservatives and in case Obama tries anything stupid.
Obama cannot cut anything. The House makes the cuts as they set the budgets. That’s the eGOP.
A weakened readiness posture is the exact goal of this administration. So long as Obama sits atop the throne, our military is no longer to be used for any objective except to assist muslim terrorists or to shore up the regimes supporting them.
What exactly are they cutting back on? They're reducing the size of the Army. Well, the Army isn't going to be a whole lot of use against China. They're retiring the A-10s, which are nearing the end of their lives and which support the Army mainly. But what else? Are they talking about reducing the number of carriers? Cutting back on the number of submarines? Downsizing the Air Force? These are the branches that will likely play a part in any conflict with China. If money is being taken away from the army to devote to the Navy and Air Force then that may not be such a bad thing.
Plenty of money for Obama to promote homosexualism, persecute American Christians and hand out billions in aid and armaments to radical muslims throughout the mideast and Africa.
Plenty of money for Michell’s multi-million dollar vacations with a few hundred of her best friends.
Plenty of money for free Obamaphones, free medical for illegals and to add millions more on food stamps.
Plenty of money for military arms, ammunition and equipment for the IRS, FEMA and other civilian agencies to equip their own para-military units.
But not enough money to keep the military strong.
