They take orders from a communist.

Again, whatever.

You'd be surprised what happens sometimes. When I was young, I remember hearing a lot of complaining about how Carter cancelled the B-1 program. Much to my surprise, I found out years later the Have Blue project was funded during 1976-79 and the decision to build the F-117 was made in 1978.....under Carter, of all people.

We survived the reign of FDR. We survived the inept Carter. We'll survive Zero, as well and may even be shocked one day to see what made it through.

Totally agree. It is never as black and white as things sometimes appear. For instance, Obama recently agreed to a several billion dollar arms package to Taiwan (even as China blew itself hoarse). Obozo is a bozo, just as Carter was what he was, but that doesn't mean the utter and total destruction of the military. The inverse also applies ...most blame the 187 Raptors on Obama when it was under Rumsfeld that the Raptor numbers were cut to 187. Others complain that the navy was left with only F-18s and the F-14 should never have been cancelled but instead updated, when the TomCat was axed by direct orders by Cheney way before he became VP. Rather than black and white it is darker and lighter shades of gray.
