The President refuses to ask for a larger, stronger military primarily because the Congress long ago put "butter" ahead of "guns" and recognizes that incumbency protection requires keeping the government gravy train rolling to their elderly constituents, professional welfare recipients, and campaign contributors. Most distinguished members of Congress would prefer to cannibalize the military in time of war than to sacrifice their political pork for national security. And those are the odious Republicans; the devious, hedonistic, seditious Democrats actively support and propagandize for the enemy and only support our troops superficially when their political lives depend on it.
I don't believe that's the case. I think in his mind there is a genuine advantage to keeping the military small and lethal, as the transformationists in the Pentagon want. I don't think he's afraid; I just think he's wrong.
If you really believe that our President would send troops in to a long battle without asking for what he thought they needed, simply because he was afraid of some greaseballs in Congress, you should be demanding his resignation. I don't really think you believe that, though. This sounds more like an excuse than a reason.
Yes, and there's a big difference. Therefore, I'll never vote for a Dem. Won't be happy about voting for the GOP, but I'll do it.
