I have found that out.
Many, many Freepers are in "Shoot! Fire! Aim!" mode on this. It is both disappointing and amazing at the same time.
We all want the deficit reduced. But breaking faith with our military this way is obscene. They also do not understand that the military is already dealing with almost half a Trillion dollars in cuts over ten years (cuts that began 2 years ago), on top of Sequestration.
The military is hemorrhaging.
I can tell you that America is going to get an education this week. The Joint Chiefs are going to Congress to testify.
I am told that at least one of them is close to putting his stars on the table. The level of frustration and desperation is reaching fever pitch, and Congress and the American people simply do not (yet) care.
“I have found that out.”
No, you have found that you cannot articulate a coherent argument for what Defense spending should include, instead you parrot the bureaucratic manipulators lies.
“I am told that at least one of them is close to putting his stars on the table. “
Another lie. Not one JCS member will put their stars on the table. Not one senior staffer, not one senior military officer in this budget discussion will quit. Why? because they are bureaucrats first Americans second and they like they position they have, they like to power they wield, and they don’t mind lying to the America they are supposed to defend rather than take the budget they have and articulate an effective plan for the defense of America.
You, at best, are too naive to not parrot the bureaucratic lies.
