Yes please, enlighten us Occupied.

Maybe you aren’t living with it the way we are. There was also just an article in the Stars & Stripes about how many civilian health care workers the services lost due to sequestration.

If we keep losing them who will take care of our injured troops?

How do we defend ourselves if it comes down to that without a strong military? The cuts are in programs that hurt and hurt badly.

Your opinion without a shred of evidence to back it up. See the table in post 9 for the actual numbers. Is it your contention that a 55% increase in the military budget over the last 10 years isn't ENOUGH?

Oh and I forgot to add that the total active duty military personnel - all branches - in 2002 was 1.413 million and in 2012 1.468 million an increase of 3.8%, so a 55% increase in budget and a 3.8 percent increase in personnel

Tell me again how this works out to reducing the military capability due to budgetary constraints
