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.
Yep, and cutting to pre WWII levels could be suicide now with what’s taking place in the world.
