Who will fly them?
James Stavridis, a retired U.S. admiral and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, slammed the Obama administration Sunday for repeated military cuts despite the fact that the country remains engaged in “real combat operations.”
“We have already cut defense … about 30 percent over the last 10 years, and we’re still at war,” Stavridis explained during remarks on a New York radio show Sunday, according to the Hill. “We’re actively involved on multiple continents in real combat operations. We should not be drastically reducing our troop levels.”
