There was a time during Clinton’s years when our tankers had to pretend they were in tanks during training exercises because there was no money to use real tanks ...
We aren’t far behind with only 12% or so of the Budget remaining now ... in a decade or so the entire Federal Budget will go for entitlements ... nothing left for any military at all. Then we will be totally disarmed and no threat to anyone else ever again. Barry will be happy his plan worked.
