Defense Secretary Robert Gates's decisions will be guided by what he learns while spending time with troops.

BS. More of that populist "listening tour" mentality. Forgive me, but I don't want some wiggy, pro-Obama E3 on the mess decks changing our national defense posture.

“Bring us to our knees by weakening our military.”

This coupled with ending VA care of wounded vets corroborates the treason.

Spoke to a friend in shall we say civilian and military assembly.

Drove him nuts many of the young turks (recent hires) vote for the Bamster.

It is kind of a first in/first out environment based on seniority but more importantly intrinsic product knowledge.

Oh well, very soon it is going to suck to be them.....

This story tells a lot about Gates, also.

This bland, faceless, DC-mentality bureaucrat who suddenly became a cabinet member in the last administration then easily adapted his thinking to the frightening military policies of the new administration.

If he had any guts, he wouldn't have stayed on.....but we can give him a reluctant pass on that if his expanded tenure would have been short. But now he knows what the marxist Obama is all about and what his U.S.-destroying agenda is, he's still there and going right along with it.

He should tender his resignation by midnight tonight.

I consider Robert Gates a chameleon and a craven traitor.

The dems never met a military spending bill that they didn’t want to cut, but ohh how they screamed about not having enough body armor for the troops.

The real shame here is that our enemies won’t just take out their aggression on the Liberals that make us weak and vulnerable. No many good Conservatives will also suffer through no fault of their own. Liberals, well they just get what is due, reap what you sow and all.

Not to worry. The money saved will be transferred to spitball research.

Good... The military complex needs a haircut. Yes. We need to fight on against Islamofascism. But at the same time, military spending out of control.

I don’t have a problem with cuts in some military procurement. I’m sure there are programs out there that are useless. I’m guessing the F-35 is too far along to be cut and to me it looks like a great jet that will in the long run save the military money. The F-35 STOVAL will probably be a great replacement jet for the Marine Corps and do away with both the harrier and the F-18. This will mean that all military fighter jets will be stealth.

They better not cut the program to replace the HUMVEE. I believe it’s called something like JLTV. I read about it a number of months back. It’s in the beginning stages and is essentially the HUMVEE with protection for IEDs which is greatly needed.

Obama believes that no good crisis should go to waste...so he is apparently doing all in his power to allow one, a big one, to come to America.

Economic, foriegn policy, military, social issues...they all are the same to him and his ilk, ways to tear down and weaken America.

Somebody who knows the Defense industry well needs to calculate the jobs saved lost by this action. I would guess it’s well over 100,000.

Grinning Zero will probably announce he’s going to save these jobs by selling the production to China.Hey it would lower our trade deficit.....for awhile.

Two defense officials who were not authorized to speak publicly said Gates will announce up to a half-dozen major weapons cancellations later this month. Candidates include a new Navy destroyer, the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet, and Army ground-combat vehicles, the offi cials said.

More cuts are planned for later this year after a review that could lead to reductions in programs such as aircraft carriers and nuclear arms, the officials said.

Say hello to Marxist Obama’s primary defense advisor.

Oh, goodie. Obama’s keeping his campaign promises; the same ones some of his voters didn’t think he really intended to keep.

The major job of the federal government is to protect and defend the American people from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Canceling weapons systems in the middle of the WOT is about as shortsighted as it gets.

Where are all the Scoop Jackson Democrats when you need them?

Our enemies are rejoicing.

This sorry excuse for a American needs to find some way to pay for the $900 million promised to the Palestinians. He's going to gut the military and leave us weak so his Muslim brothers can attack again.

Coming to the military soon: new bows and arrows; swords; spears; chariots with one horse; one shot muskets. Hey, we are going to be a 3d world nation, we might as have a 3d world nation military. Our tanks will be Toyota pickup trucks with a machine gun in the back!!!
