How Obama and Democrats are sabotaging our military from within, America’s national security will be held hostage to the welfare state
A devastating report by the Heritage Foundation reveals yet another arena where the Obama administration, with the blessings of the Democrat Party, is fundamentally transforming the United States of America. “The U.S. military may be weaker than you think,” the report states. “All but one branch of America’s military and nuclear forces are currently operating at ‘marginal’ strength levels.”
The Heritage Foundation’s conclusions are strikingly at odds with the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, which maintains the U.S. can still fight two major conflicts simultaneously. Yet that same report highlights the reality that beginning in FY2012 the Department of Defense began absorbing the “significant impacts” of the $487 billion, ten-year spending cut instituted by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA). “Sequestration” was the bit where Republicans abided drastic cuts in military spending in exchange for cuts in discretionary spending—even Democrats managed to keep budget-busting programs such as Social Security and Medicaid largely exempt. The BCA also included the requirement that the military cut its budget by $50 billion on an annual basis. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 provided a temporary respite from sequestration, but barring any actions by Congress, “annual sequestration cuts are set to resume in FY2016,” the report warns.
Can’t wait till some of the members from the Staged Shootings Unit come forward. Be nice if some of the assasins who took out people knowing 0’s past would grow a conscience and come forward to but I suspect there are burn notice orders on all of them.
Everyone needs to know the “Frontrunner’s “ positions on a strong military. Throw the illegal aliens out of America and rebuild our Military with the savings.
Obama’s purge of the highest officers was also part of his plan to weaken/destroy the viability of our military. He is a traitor without any doubt.
>>which maintains the U.S. can still fight two major conflicts simultaneously.
Unfortunately, one of those two conflicts is the “vitally important” Battle for LGBT Inclusion. And the other one needs to be very low intensity or global thermonuclear war.
So, what’s up with Bergdahl?
