Is Obama Always Faithful to our Marines?

The current political winds in Washington, DC, have dictated that less will be spent on the various Branches of the Armed Forces of the Unites States.

Case in point: the Commander-in-Chief has decided to fire 20,000 of our U.S. Marines.

In an article published by San Diego, California's North County Times, ironically on Thanksgiving Day, Military Affairs reporter Gretel C. Kovach cites;

"The Corps is shrinking by 20,000 Marines, to 182,100."

The North County Times also cited that America's premier fighting force is;

"scraping to repair or replace battle-worn equipment."

In spite of the Nobel Peace Prize award winning Obama ordering a recent surge in combat troops the Afghanistan theater of war, Kovach also pointed out that America's beloved Marine Corps is still to be slashed by roughly 20 percent;

"despite no sign of an enemy collapse."

So What Will The Taxpayers Money Be Spent On?

Earlier this week, Breitbart.com covered the recent agreement Barack Obama has promised billions of Yankee dollars to the oil-rich and overwhelmingly Muslim nations of Indonesia and Brunei.

as I said before this election. With Obama in power, the US will be a third world country by 2020

That's inevitable now -- even a Sarah Palin in 2016 will not stop it.

and that will be horrible for the rest of the world, forget about for the USA...

Are you serious?
Troops are being reduced in all services as we speak...it’s being done, pal.
A greater financial burden is also being increased on the military and retirees by this admin. When Obutthead speaks of spending cuts he’s willing to entertain, it’s solely from the military which, BTW, is the primary function of the fed govt., not free stuff for lazy a**es. But that’s what got him re-elected...
Who are you?

Brunei?!?

'When people think of Brunei they usually associate the tiny country with the sultan. He remains the universal leader of the country, as well as one of the wealthiest men in the world. The country is governed exclusively by the sultan, who is considered a “caring monarch” and is much beloved by the people of Brunei.

The present 29th Sultan of Brunei ascended to the throne in 1968 at the age of 25, when his father decided to retire. Remember his number 29, because it will come up again. The current sultan inherited the power to control the country’s finance, oil reserves, command of the military, and retains the seat of prime minister.'

So Barry's giving our TAX MONEY to a friggen Sultan. And not just any Sultan but "one of the wealthiest men in the world"!

When do the Impeachment Hearings start?
