If you thought sequestration was over, you're wrong.
As ISIS continues its march across the Middle East, as Russia's Putin becomes more aggressive and as the Chinese continue to build military islands in the ocean, the United States is planning to cut 40,000 more troops from the Army by 2017. More from Reuters:
The U.S. Army plans to cut 40,000 troops over the next two years, affecting all its domestic and foreign posts, USA Today reported on Tuesday, citing a plan it said was due to be announced this week.
For what it's worth, Putin put 40,000 Russian troops on full alert for military exercises in March.
What could possibly go wrong?
Go to the pentagon first: Then the Navy Yard and other civilian loaded quasi military sites to start cuts.
“Approximately 23,000 military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support personnel work in the Pentagon. It has five sides, five floors above ground, two basement levels, and five ring corridors per floor with a total of 17.5 mi (28.2 km) of corridors.”
