Dear Occupied, The ‘dirty little secret’ that you are missing is that under the Obama/SecTreasury Lew Sequestration, the Department of Defense has to receive fully 50% of the budget cuts for the entire federal government. The rest of the federal government on your chart receives the other 50%. Thus seqestration is harming the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marines. And those cuts are coming in this year’s budget (which is only a continuing resolution because the Dem Senate won’t act).

Also Obama has forbidden the DoD to shift funds around as it needs to make the best use of the cuts. And Congress keeps saying ‘gotta keep this system’ that the services actually want to drop, such as the destroyers the Navy wants to retire, because it will cost too much to overhaul them to become ABM capable. And don’t forget that the military is still fighting a war in Afghanistan...and it looks like bh0 is going to get us into another one in Syria.
