Oh bullshit! Decimated my arse, please provide a reference for your nonsense. I personally know there is a rather lengthy waiting list to enlist in my beloved Air Force. Matter of fact I went to the Class VI after work last nite and business was booming. I didn’t see one iota of decimation. Don’t just make shit up—provide a source to back up your BS.

It’s because the Air Force is smaller now. The Army is smaller, too. The Marines had a law passed saying they couldn’t have less than three Divisions, but their numbers are down, too. I think the Navy has about half the ships it had 30 years ago. I don’t know how big our military needs to be, but I know the Democrats aren’t looking at how big it should be using logic and reason. They are basing the strength of our military on how much money they need to take from it to buy inner-city votes.

Sequestration; cut-back on flights leading to entire squadron’s losing their C-status, no more training rotations or exercises, lack of fuel for local training, and cut-backs of personnel readiness efforts, draw-downs in force numbers (resulting in waiting lists to enter) and terrible economy (adding to the waiting list), and the list goes on. And let’s talk about TRICARE and its cost increases. . .and the social engineering going on . . .homo “marriage” and anti-Christian efforts. . .as well as forced tolerance for the liberal agenda in all its forms (a Sgt was recently red-lined and faced, I think, NJP because he voiced his objection to homo marriage). . .and the DoD listing patriots and Christians and states rights people as possible terrorist or hate crime suspects. . .I don’t think I agree with your objection that the military is being decimated by The One.

Decimated means more than a reduction in numbers. . .it also applies to the ability to fly, fight and win, and in the case of the Air Force, it surely has been decimated.
