Quidado America..they are out to destroy our strength. The Communistas must be thrown out as soon as possible before we become totally defenseless in a dangerous world.
I’ve always thought that the Navy was over-reliant on ships, too. ;o)
These people are working against us.
“Obama/Pelosi are destroying our military as fast as they can. All that money has to be fed to “social justice” groups and government union workers.”
Yes...they ARE!
Correct. They want a level playing field. The race to the bottom is on.
The Kenyan Clown and his circus intend to destroy our military.
As I grew older, I decided that this was not a good approach.
But I think I'm back on it now. We can save a lot of money, and we can get out of the nation building game. We just announce where the line is and then we watch carefully. We tell Iran not to test a nuclear device. If they test a nuclear device, they lose Tehran within 12 hours.
You want to save money? This would do it.
You want to have a functioning military that can respond in a graduated fashion depending on the actual need? Well, then you need to spend money.
Yep. It reminds me of the Air Force's obsessive focus on planes.
I’ll bet the Chinese aren’t having these kind of problems.
Gates is an Obama bootlicker.
It just steams my clams to read stuff like this. None of this is about adapting the military to new threat models or even about reducing the deficit. It’s solely about freeing up money for more of this administration’s domestic spending projects.
To paraphrase the late, great John Vernon in The Outlaw Josey Wales: “Secretary Gates, don’t p*ss down my back and tell me it’s raining!”
In fairness, I have to say that the Chinese have the advantage of having the US pay for their military build-up. It’s really no sweat to them.
But they’ll throw $6 Billion to Acorn with abandon.

Perhaps a smaller freebie program for votes would be a far better answer.
Social justice is a crock, buying votes from ignorant people.
What did Stalin used to call them, oh yeah, useful idiots, Obama voters. Stalin loved the words “peace, jobs and democracy” to put a happy face on his gulags and tens of millions of murders.
When a nation has poor leaders, the people will pay the price in blood. It has been so for at least three millennia.
The United States is going to learn a very powerful lesson about the nature of the secular world, if we don’t get religion and soon.
