All those dormant flattops will make great section 8 housing for the underprivileged.

Well, considering how much we hear about "white privilege" and since Hispanics and Asians and se Asians are still considered "white", that only leaves one ethnic group as "underprivileged".

I get very angry when I see this drawdown in the military, and Obama flies his damned wife on a separate Osprey and his dog on a different one.

This just makes steam come out of my ears. I can’t stand it.

I can’t stand it. I am okay with cutting back on defense spending if we are required to spend money we don’t have, BUT ONLY IF THEY CUT BACK EQUALLY EVERYWHERE ELSE!

Grrrr. I hate these grifters running our government with a white-hot passion.

The sad truth is that we cannot afford a military force that is the present size. If we demand that the federal government must stop spending money that it does not have, then the military will have to be downsized and all branches of the service will have to make painful choices.

America really, really needs to bring back American manufacturing, to America.

Now.

Don’t buy stuff which is all made in China.

Just saying.

The new “Optimized Fleet Response Plan” represents an effort to... simplify surrender. Thanks ClaytonP.

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

They'll still be singing "Happy Days are Here Again," even if they're forced to do it in Chinese.

What do Barry and his ‘RATS call this? Oh yeah, “fundamental transformation”.

However, from a strategic point, could we not maintain a fleet based on min max. Rotate the manpower around each battle group keeping the manpower at a optimal low and the rotated hardware at an optimal high with reserves being trained in the process.
