Our funding of the military is probably the one thing the government has done mostly right. We have the best trained and equipped forces in the world and the proof is in the pudding. But the world hasn't gotten safer with the election of the 0bammessiah - only more dangerous. Until we can regroup and evaluate our condition the armed forces following Iraq and Afghanistan, it is too soon to even discuss 'cut' in the military budget. I was in the military of the Jimmy Carter and Bill Cllinton. It wasn't pretty and am outright thankful Reagan saw that a strong military - with associated spending- was necessary for our country to survive. I was stationed in Germany when the wall fell, when only a few years earlier they were still shooting at border crossers.
Don’t get me wrong, the military is a crucial priority in our government spending. But, in order to have it means cutting a bunch of seniors off from all entitlements like.....yesterday.
