People have been mentioning it. When Clinton was POTUS it was fine to bring up such matters. When W got elected and continued Slick Willies downsizing course it was Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil. Not to mention the childish you are with us or them mentality to silence any needed criticism.
I had some hope with Clinton leaving the White House and having a GOP POTUS until W picked the Architect of the Hollow Carter Military to be Sec of Defense and if anyone says other wise Rummy was Jerry Ford's Sec of Def and it was already in pretty bad shape when Carter was sworn in. That is not defending Cater that is the truth. There is no defending the Carter presidency. He was pathetic. Rummy under Bush began redux part two and was replaced by someone even worse than he who lacks integrity not to resign. Gates being W's pick and staying with Osbama only serves to give what can be seen as legitimacy of Osbama's military policies by the GOP.
Some GOP congress has to go. Namely many who sat on their BFA's as majority and helped Clinton continue downsizing then remained silent while W did likewise as Slick Willie before him.
It won't be fixed till, those responsible are held accountable. Last time I looked at the Constitution Congress set the funding for our armed services as well as End Troop Strength Levels for active duty. That is why I say both parties are to blame. The GOP majority 1995-2006 as much as the current DEMs have done nothing.
“Hey I’m all for it. But let’s never forget who brought us to this point to start with. We’ve been headed there since 1989 with the exception of Gulf War 1. Immediately after both the DEMs and the GOP including Poppy Bush and Cheney started us on a downsizing disaster that continues today still unchecked by either party.

Maybe we need a new opposition party?
I have a name to suggest:
AMERICAN NATIONAL PARTY
If I recall the Republican Party was founded in 1856 because the old Whig Party divided itself into Southern and Northern factions which in today’s language mean conservatives and moderates.
So the logical thing to do would be to split off from the worthless and gutless Blueblood Country Club Moderate Wimp Faction and form a lean and very mean revolutionary party that is at total war with leftard oppression.
Another thing: Ole Ronbo hates to called a “Conservative” - like most members of the right wing of the GOP I’m a RADICAL!
I believe in the individual right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Radical ideas in 1776...Still radical ideas in 2009.
