They have taken a shorthand view of both what the Republicans said and what the democrats did and have fused it into this argument.
The shortage in military funding was mostly in pay and housing, with delays in starting new research. Current equipment was not so much the issue. It was personnel, both numbers and morale, that were the big concern.
At any rate, hearing this argument twice leads me to believe that the Clintons still have control and are trying to repair their reputations. Fair warning, folks!
