The collapse of our military is merely another anti Western victory. The left is every where sweeping to an inevitable victory.

One of the main goals of the left. Destroying our military.

The Army may not have enough money for sufficient training to maintain proficiency, but be comforted by the fact that there is always enough money in the kitty to provide transsexual sex change operations for Court Martial ed and convicted traitors like “Chelsey” Manning.

Decorated war vets are disciplined if they address “Chelsey” by “her” original name, “Bradley Manning”

Yup, our Army is broken, and funding levels are not the only reason it's broken

I’m thoroughly disappointed in how little pushback there has been from the military.

They removed how many officers, and they just let it happen?

As long as the armed forces are compelled to accept and celebrate open faggotry I’ll view them as a “broken” entity.

That could all change if a certain Mr. Trump gets ELECTED.

I have no proof of this, but I suspect what is left of military leadership after cuts are liberal supporters of Obama. The conservatives that remain fear that they will lose their jobs or will not advance if they speakout. Meanwhile the RINOs in congress do nothing.

The Army has been broken for quite some time, and it’s not because of money.

One of the funniest things I saw were all the Officers who brown-nosed their way up the ranks then turn around and say, “Where did all these brown-nosers come from?”.

“Maybe you shoulda made ‘em smarter instead of faster.” - Gary Busey from the movie SOLDIER.

But yet we still have plenty of money to give all sorts of free stuff to illegals and allow transvestites into the military and allow the military health program to pay for gender changing operations...

The mililtary is being turned into a para-military social program.

All I could think as well. It’s frustrating to have the vehicle of deliverance at hand and twiddle our thumbs watching the degradation of America continue.

Much of the defense budget goes to non-defense items I bet.

Environmental programs and all that.

Obama would consider the army fixed.

That accounts for nearly all in the Pentagon. Way too many in any company , department, or business who just nose brown all the way and then think they are better than others.

Was a time when you did your work and you were noticed and rewarded, now people are rewarded on how they suck up or who they sleep with.
