I don’t have much of a problem w/ that....I’m sure there is a LOT of wasteful spending @ the Pentagon. I just wish that the $ would be used to help pay off the national debt or be given back to the taxpayers rather than being shifted to other liberal causes.

You've got to be kidding. Wasteful spending is everywhere in the government, and it doesn't bother you that the only place where they're talking about cutting it is in the DoD? Not to mention that a liberal's "wasteful spending" are weapons programs that may very well save all our a**es one day?

If "wasteful spending" is going to happen, I'd rather it happen in the Pentagon than anywhere else. And if you're going to cut "wasteful spending", start somewhere else first, like say the the departments of Education, HHS, Commerce, etc. DoD is the last department that should take budget cuts!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

A lot of the equipment we procured in the 1980s is wearing out. What is going to replace it, harsh language? We’ve had two two-term Presidents who have basically been on a procurement holiday. Now, we have one who apparently wants to end procurement all together. Someone should tell Obama that military spending is stimulative too. And you actually get something you can use when the $$ is spend.
