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.
You are speaking from a position of ignorance. I live 5 miles from Like AFB which was just awarded the F-35. The base, local economy and real estate are booming. Your argument that the strength of our military is based on inner city votes is childishly flawed and not based in reality.
