I am getting tired of debating people who have no idea of what the facts are. I always knew that a small slice of the American public were lazy and stupid. I didn't think it applied to Conservative Republicans.
It is not a "2%" cut.
It is a 13.5% across the board cut to the military, and because of the jack assery of our vaunted President and Republican friends, it will have to be initiated in the latter 6 months of this fiscal year, and then there are 9 more wonderful years following this catastrophe to go.
Just this year:

Moreover, military pay and most procurement dollars are not touchable, meaning Operations and Maintenance (the life blood of the military) is going to be absolutely gutted.
Do you read the news?

Our military leaders and heroes have been BEGGING Congress and the American people to listen to the facts of this unfolding tragedy, and all I see are deaf ears and ignorant expressions.
We have clueless, obese GOP Congressmen like this guy blaming the military for this disaster.

It is simply incredible to me how so-called "Conservatives" on this forum are reacting (or not reacting) the to the facts.
When war or a national emergency comes again (and it will), there will be a lot of blame to go around. And people like you deserve your place in the front of the line.
