I wouldn’t think Jennifer Rubin would dare to show her head after falsely jumping the gun on the Norway attacks. Of course, she’s wrong on this. The Pentagon cuts are too few, not too many. We can’t afford to keep policing the world.

Defense is a Constitutionally mandated responsibility of the federal government. Almost evrything else is dogshit. This is not about policing the world. The sixties are gone. This is about maintaining and projecting American power as a deterrent in a dangerous and unstable world. get it? good.

and we can start with getting out of Libya..how much are we spending there?

[ohioman]

What utter tripe. Instead of blabbing about what would only further assist in the destruction of our military, don’t you have a Ron Paul rally to attend. By declaring yourself even to the left of Dingy Harry on this issue you look like a nutjob hippy.

You're probably right. I'd like to see an itemization of how much it costs us to subsidize wealthy countries like Korea, Japan, and Germany, along with the 700 installations we have in 150 countries around the world. Seems like perhaps we could spend less abroad, and spend more on R&D, and protection of the US, and spend less overall. I'm afraid that under cover of national security, we'll spend ourselves into oblivion.

Cutting the military this deep at this time, will put our troops at risk. Wait until the troops are home. Cut foreign aide, except to Israel, cut a lot of money to the UN, cut Obamacare, Dept. of Education, ACORN (supposed to cut, but haven’t), and other radical liberal groups. Cuts to these groups would likely be over a trillion dollars.
