“It also gives him big ammunition for things like cutting military programs.”
Yea - but that’s happening anyway. The interesting part is when the cuts come home to rooooooooost, and thousands of soldiers lose their lives...then he’ll have to answer.
Not sure how that's going to happen when Obama will start bringing them home. I wonder what he's going to do about our soldiers deployed in Korea and other parts of the world? Will he eliminate bases in foreign countries so our carrier groups will have to operate strictly from the U.S. and take days to respond to attacks world wide?
“and thousands of soldiers lose their lives”
Yes, but by then, the people who know how to use weapons well will largely be unarmed, dead or incarcerated. Or will have gone ‘missing.’
