The U.S. military is shedding so many troops and weapons it is only “marginally able” to defend the nation and falls short of the Obama administration’s national security strategy, according to a new report by The Heritage Foundation on Tuesday.
“The U.S. military itself is aging. It’s shrinking in size,” said Dakota Wood, a Heritage analyst. “And it’s quickly becoming problematic in terms of being able to address more than one major conflict.”
President Obama’s latest strategy is to size the armed forces so that the four military branches have sufficient troops, ships, tanks and aircraft to win a large war, while simultaneously acting to “deny the objectives of — or impose unacceptable costs on — another aggressor in another region.”

weakening our military while our enemies expand theirs, and allowing non-Americans to overrun our country is treason, pure and simple.
It is time for States, either individually or collectively to say 'NO!.
treason
I was told a few months ago it was the first time in decades that 5 fleets have been in port AT ONCE.
‘falls short of the Obama administration’s national security strategy’
Big lie in the first sentence. His strategy IS to destroy our Military.
you mean 0bama is working against America’s best interests and helping our enemies?
gee... who could’ve imagined such a thing...
“Fleets at Port”
He was probably hoping we would get attacked and he would have his own little Pearl Harbor.. 4 term Prez - FDR style...
Battle groups don’t protect the country sitting in port. The only time they should be sitting there is if they just completed their 6 month deployment.
It’s been six years. Nobody who can do anything is saying no. It will only get worse.
If present trends continue, in 20 years the U.S. Marines will consist of 300 Muslim drag queens.
The first thing Obama did when he came into office is stop our Nuclear Weapon Programs R & D. We have fewer Nuclear Warheads in out Inventory then we have in decades.
He is nothing short of a Traitor, Elected by other Traitors.
I’m trying to find the info about how many battle groups were in port at the same time under Odungo
In other words - the plan is on schedule.
We have nothing to fear with Barack Obama in the White House
> U.S. military decimated under Obama, only ‘marginally able’ to defend nation
Uhhh - what did you expect from someone who conceals their identity?
Every election official and judge who enabled this should be prosecuted for treason, they facilitated the sacking of the Executive.
1Sa 8:7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
1Sa 8:18 And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
the old saying; "divided we fall" is prevalent and is obviously the goal of this regime in the WH. Another old saying that the US citizens have unfortunately forgotten is " Freedom isn't Free".
“The #1 job of our federal govt is to defend the states.”
Obama cant have that.
