If regular people knew the real devastation that the Clinton's and the democrats caused by cutting out the legs from underneath our Troops with their budget cuts, there would be an uproar of Biblical proportions.

In my opinion, the worst thing that they have caused to the Army is the reduction in the number of Divisions which has resulted in an increase of individual deployments to hostile areas.

It is absolutely outrageous when certain Democrats claim to support the Troops after the damage they have wrought with their incredibly short sighted votes.

Their votes have resulted in the deaths of certain of our Troops, and yet they still have the unmitigated gall to justify themselves.

I am not fond of professional politicians, but most especially I despise the lying hypocritical Democrat members of both houses of Congress.

Amen to that! I was in the Navy during Carter's reign of terror. I was in the Indian Ocean on a Destroyer in '81, before Reagan's appropriations came in. I was an Electronic Warfare Technician. We had no spare parts at all. We were scavenging boom boxes for components to keep our equipment running.

The high-speed roller bearings on our main antennae wore out. We couldn't beg, borrow, or steal one. We had to have the Hull Techs turn us some bronze bushings on a lathe. It cut our direction-finding accuracy by over 200%. They only lasted about two weeks. We had to go aloft while underway to replace them, which required shutting down numbers one and two firerooms and turning into the wind. This severely endangered the ship while we were replacing the bearings.

The power supplies for our jammers broke down. We were supposed to have one for port, one for starboard, and one spare. We had one, period. We could cross-over the power supplies, but if we were hit from both sides...

The really sick thing is that what Carter did to our military was child's play compared to what that traitor Clinton did.

I couldn't agree more.

Now..................how do we get the information to these regular people?

I get so frustrated!!!

But a bit of joy has lifted me today! I'm feeling more confident. First time in a long time I felt this way about an election!
