Our military has been shrinking for decades. The alarming thing is, the same people who have been in favor of it, are still not statisfied.

We went from a two theater military preparedness to a one theater of preparedness. We close ten if not hundreds of military bases. We cut our Navy more than in half. We cut aircraft orders in half.

What’s the song and dance today, they want to cut 1/2 of our land forces on top of everything else.

We slashed our nuclear capabilities and are flying 50 plus year old bombers.

And then we get the folks who think their Conservatives acting as if this is the best act of Conservatism in decades.

Who pulls for secure ocean lanes, the disruption of terrorist on their soil, and the continuing safety of the United States?

Essentially, none but a small remnant of folks old enough to remember what happens when our armed forces shrink as badly as they are now.
