Lest any of you think that the military is taking care of it's personnel here's this timely article about the pentagon brass squandering $7,000,000,000 on solar energy. Can anyone say Soylandra? No money for budget cuts, but apparently money for "green energy" to make 0bama supporters happy. I think they should be cut ANOTHER $7 billion.

I was appalled when I read about the $7 billion for solar energy. and have been appalled by the Navy being forced to buy biofuel at around $40 per gallon. Decisions like those get imposed by the appointed CIVILAN POLITICAL leadership.

The internal politics of the Pentagon are driven from the top down, by Obama’s political appointees. They have the power to override what military professionals want. And, unfortunately, not all of these military professionals are willing to turn in their stars in protest.

And that $7 Billion also takes away from what is needed in replacing/rebuilding the military equipment that has been worn out by 12 years of combat. bh0’s objective is NOT to have a military capable of defending the USA but to have a toy to inflict all of his social engineering ideas and leftist political beliefs upon

I recommend you take a trip to Ft. Benning, GA and see the troops there and what they have and DON’T have.
