These jerks should do their homework in what The Impeached One did to gut our military, just as Carter did.

President Reagan fixed the damage Carter did with a few years, and had our military large and in charge, during an era of relative peace. I'd do my homework on what GWB has done to increase the size of our military during wartime, but there's not a lot of study material out there.

I'd love to be able to drop this one at the feet of the Slickmeister, but we've had more than long enough to fix that problem, and the shadow of 9/11 to fix it under. There's really no excuse on this one.

Maybe there are no excuses since the the accusation is fraudulent to start with.

By the way, as someone who was there, Reagan did not fix the Carter military in 3 years. It wasn't until about 1988 we had a serious force. Thank God we did not have to go to war with the force we had in say 1984! This is a different kind of threat. It is no longer a matter of simply rounding up a bunch of cannon fodder and slap uniforms on them. It take time, effort and money to build the professional cadre to run that expanded force. Thur out history too rapid expansion of a military has caused almost as many problems for the force as not building a big enough force

Should we be doing more? Sure I would love too spend twice as much but that is one of the limitations of making war in a Constitutional Republic. You got to bring the people along with you, not just snap your fingers and issue orders
