If the person proposing these cuts was anyone else, I’d probably see some logic in it. But since its dear leader... you can count me out.
They'll be all tied up .... getting backstrapped by Obama's Man's Country pals.
These people make me want to vomit! Notice the obligatory photo op Hagel got with the - of course- female officer? They are destroying us every damned day! Horrifying what is going on. This presidency is just a nightmare. I really despise most Americans today.
Gotta admit that the larger the Army is the more tempting it is to get into protracted occupations. It’s obvious we would have had to occupy Iraq forever. Same goes for Afghanistan.
Because we can’t cut the leeches off welfare.
Why does it look like the 30s all over again?
Obama to eliminate all USA A-10 Warthog ground support jets.
Wonderful.
The only truly effective USAF jet to support Army ground operations (anti-vehicle/anti-tank/anti-chopper/anti-crew served weapons) and Obama to eliminate them.
Will significantly raise the ground forces injury/death rate...like Obama/Dems in DC could care.
One would think the extreme “Rules of Engagement” the troops are inflicted with, would be enough.
Guess not.
Obama/Dems want to make sure Americans suffer more deaths/injuries.
Obama is the USA as Lenin was to old Russia.
“Hagel volunteered to join the United States Army during the Vietnam War, rejecting a draft board recommendation that he go to college instead.[17] He served in the United States Army infantry in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. Holding the rank of Sergeant (E-5), he served as an infantry squad leader in the 9th Infantry Division.[18] Hagel served in the same infantry squad as his younger brother Tom, and they are believed to be the only American siblings to do so during the Vietnam War.[19] They also ended up saving each other’s lives on separate occasions.[19] While serving during the war, he received the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, two Purple Hearts, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.”
“After Reagan’s inauguration as President, Hagel was named deputy administrator of the Veterans Administration. In 1982, however, he resigned his post over a disagreement with VA Administrator Robert P. Nimmo, who was intent on cutting funding for VA programs. Nimmo had referred to veterans groups as “greedy”, and to Agent Orange as not much worse than a “little teenage acne.”

Was in combat in Vietnam and Cambodia and still has shrapnel in his chest from an exploding mine. Oliver North called Hagel a fake soldier on hannity.
This is a terrible, terrible thing.
