That’s about enough of a navy to maybe defend Canandaigua Lake.

Looks like the US is well on its way to achieving Obama's goal of no combat effective task forces available.
All those dormant flattops will make great section 8 housing for the underprivileged.

All part of the left’s plan to put the U.S. on an equal footing with other nations.
It’s just not “fair” for us to have more military might than, say, Angola. What’s so special about us?

Obama thinks all that hardware is just there to protect the rich, white folks. If we're attacked the enemy will naturally attack only rich white folks and leave Obama's constituents in peace.
Heck, they may even invited them in on the plunder of the spoils.

I guess I can forget everything I ever learned...like “haze gray and underway.”,and the prime directive...”sailors belong on ships and ships belong at sea.”

So two carrier task forces deployed at any given time means one off the East Coast and one off the West Coast, right?
No. It means one in the Western Pacific and one in the Indian Ocean / Persian Gulf region.
There is sonething fundamentally wrong with our foreign policy.

If these cuts are occurring during a time of “economic recovery,” imagine what shape the armed services will be in at the next downturn.

With the Dhimmis in charge, there will never be an economic downturn. Remember, under Stalin, the USSR never had a downturn. (/sarc)

Mr. Hagel, you didn’t ask me, but, you’ll be sorry you allowed us to lower our defenses to this light level. The Chinese are doing the exact opposite.
