Actually there is a strategy, but Col. North is wise enough not to say what it is on television.

The strategy is to fundamentally transform America. He is right on schedule.

Hey Obama, appeasement leads to war. Yes, I know that's part of your plan, to destroy America.

...it doesn't do the thing that defense budgets are supposed it to do and that is to support a national strategy.

A thing I pointed out yesterday, but do I get an interview on Fox? Nooooo...

Joking aside, this really is the crux of the matter. In the absence of a change in overall national strategy this is a useless gesture at best and potentially a very harmful one. OK, so we're going to cut the size of the Army. What about its current commitments? Sure, we can reduce the Navy to 8 carrier battle groups or less. What about its current commitments? And has anyone pointed out that you don't just stop spending money on this stuff, that it costs money to retire?

I'm hoping that this planning really has taken place and it is simply a failure to communicate. I'm hoping for the Easter Bunny, too.

There is a strategy:

it’s driven by the fact that we’re broke.

WW II used the draft to get all the troops needed and that didn’t include women, gays or Guard. Right now the army seems like a gig to create Generals and recycle them into commentators. Eisenhower and MacArthur served for the duration. The WW II system worked just fine - declare a war, get overwhelming force with the help of Rosie the Riveter and win it.

The strategy is “F-— the military and give out more foodstamps.”
That’s it.

'There is no strategy' to the defense budget that reduces military to pre-WWII...

Uh, there's definitely a strategy.

The military is loyal to the Constitution, and our wannabe Dictator in Chief views them as a threat to his ambitions.

Article One Section Eight, United States Constitution. clause 12 To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of money to that Use shall be for a longer term than two years; The founders never meant for us to have a standing army. They meant for the Militias to be the first and last lines of defense.

It’s an extremely dangerous World out there. Obama, and the Leftist’s currently holding our leash are doing their best to make it even more so.

Bringing down this country is their #1 goal. They might as well broadcast it across the World now as this action does.

Most of us are too young to remember pre-WW2 USA, but us historians remember our military was in such shambles that they drilled back then with broom sticks rather than rifles.

Being attacked by enemies on our soil will be far more traumatic today than Pearl Harbor was then. It is a different world.

Strategy or reason are not the issue. There is only one misguided thought.

War is obsolete. f there is no military, there can be no war.

It is that simple

Like Biden, Hagel is a fool
