"Years of deep budget cuts, with Sequestration on top of those cuts, have made our military readiness a disaster waiting to happen."
NO!
The cost of the welfare state is the problem. We can't even afford our welfare state.
Liars like McCain who blame 'sequester", or anything else but our bread and circus economy for the military's reduced abilities are just BSing.

I agree, the welfare state is the problem. When they passed the Budget Control Act, all welfare and entitlements were exempt from Sequestration, but the military must “pay” for 50% of all cuts. Obama must have been laughing when the Republicans signed onto this. But Sequester cuts do come on top of already existing cuts. It is akin to bleeding a dead body.
