Look it’s time to start speaking about something:
We are being sold out.
But it is happening by both sides. Both parties. Everyone.
China. American companies, buying Chinese produced goods. You name it.
America needs to bring back American production, and if American companies don’t bring it back then scr@w them.
I’m sorry but I’m getting a little bit miffed.
BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS.
Now.

I suspect the bureaucrat generals will be unaffected. The experienced field officers will be purged. Homosexuals and females will be promoted to fill the gaps leaving the actual reduction in numbers to the lower ranks.

More attempts to woo back the far left who are abandoning Obama over Snowden.

Historically, these kinds of actions — the dismantling of our military — are followed by a war breaking out.

How about we match that with a 20% cut in Michelle Obama’s staff, or vacation allowance?

They have to make room so they can hire more diversity trainers and lawyers.

Patriots—be armed and prepared. The second revolution is brewing.
The tree of liberty needs to be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots.

Only this time it may not be overseas.

OK. 20%. Let’s go with that. 20% across the board cuts throughout government. Every department.
To: Nachum
I despise Hagel, but a 50% cut in the number of Generals and senior civilians would be a pretty good start. Heck, maybe he could eliminate Southern Command entirely...

I think Hagel is a fool, but there’s plenty to cut in the pentagon. I have read that the Navy has more admirals than ships...

Fewer chiefs and more Indians is not a bad idea.

Agreed! But, what's the catch?
I won't be satisfied that it's real until McCain howls bloody murder.

You could save tens of millions of dollars just by eliminating all the Under-Secretaries, Asst-Secretaries, and Deputy Secretaries of ,.... and their staffs.
