In only a few months, the Sequester has hollowed out our military. Entire Air Force wings were grounded and are currently non-mission ready. Navy ships have delayed depot repair and are pier queens. Entire Army Brigade Combat Teams are now incapable of deployment to combat. Four thousand DoD doctors, nurses, and medical professionals have quit due to furloughs and low morale. The military was dealing with massive cuts before the Sequester, and that was the final knife across the throat. I am not making these things up. Research the facts for yourself. You are entitled to your opinion, but expect to back it up with facts, not your own emotions.

When we have a C-in-C that uses it when he souldn't, and doesn't when he should, I don't see it making much difference in the short run.
