Pretty thought-provoking when you state it like that.

From: The Facts About Military Readiness (Sept. 2000 -- how Clinton slashed the military)

The size of the U.S. military has been cut drastically in the past decade. Between 1992 and 2000, the Clinton Administration cut national defense by more than half a million personnel and $50 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars. The Army alone has lost four active divisions and two Reserve divisions. The number of total active personnel in the Air Force has decreased by nearly 30 percent. In the Navy, the total number of ships has decreased from around 393 ships in the fleet in 1992 to 316 today. Even the Marines have dropped 22,000 personnel.

What are the numbers from Bush, Sr. It would be an interesting comparison.
