I'm for increasing the special forces as long as the quality is not replaced by quantity. We have the best special forces in the world led by the Navy SEALs and to increase their number with inferior men would be a disgrace. As for the increase in civilian jobs, I worked for the military for ten years. There were good people and bad and as anyone knows, government is not the most efficient operation around. I think slapping contractors is a bad idea as they tend to attract and hold the brightest minds with better pay and benefits. a 13% cut is too much and it will take a few years for new civilian workers to even approach the work done by private firms. this smacks of the liberal tendency to trust government more than contractors and it has Obama's fingerprints all over it.

Led by the Navy SEALs?
Yeah, us Navy guys believe they are the elite.
SEALs are Special Operations Forces. Army Green Berets are the only Special Forces.
I stand corrected.
Yeah Baby!
