Liberalism and anti-Americanism continues. The Congress ignores while America burns.

Hagel: Dominance of US military "can no longer be taken for granted"

Translation: Dominance of US military "will no longer be tolerated" (by the Obama regime)

It's time ALL Americans understand that IS what they're saying

The plans have the endorsement of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Whoa! That makes me feel so much better. What more could you ask for than the endorsement of five political hacks and sycophants? I mean, is that not the best recommendation one could ask for - five guys who have demonstrated their ability to put advancement over country?

Obama will never fully trust the military to side with him against American citizens. So is this a move to weaken the military to make room and money avaiable for Obama's Private Army?

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the
national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian
national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as
well-funded."

-- Barack Hussein Obama

“It would eliminate the Air Force’s A-10 “Warthog” attack jets, which provide ground troops with close air support. That would save $3.5 billion over five years, Hagel said.”

I don’t claim to be an expert, but I have to think that a rugged, low-cost to operate and maintain attack craft that can carry a lot of goodies under its wings still has some uses. If anything, I’d modernize ‘em (glass cockpit, all-weather capability) not retire them.

“It will also invest $26 billion in what officials are calling an “Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative” that would be used for modernization.”

What would that be more “Muslim Outreach” like with the space program?

These people don’t vote for Democrats. You can’t expect them to be treated like illegal immigrants or Obamaphone holders.

He said payroll costs have risen 40 percent more than growth in the private sector.

Are you freakin' kidding me?? Even with those raises the avarage military guy still earns way less than any civilian counterpart.

Cut somewhere else, Knucklehead. These people are too valuable to US interests. Cut the EPA, Dept. of Agriculture, Energy, and/or Education.

Active duty Army will be 420,000?

That’s a round off error in the People’s Liberation Army.

If they decide to pick a fight, means we go nuclear on Day 1.

Seems to me the republic would be better served left to the Marines once again. My squadron Vmfat-201 in the early 70’s had 33 phantoms, the largest Phantom squadron ever in existence. Give me 4000 F4j’s or F16’s and Marine pilots will rule the day once again. We might even see some Generals flying again, make it personal. The air force Gay brigade isn’t cutting it, prove me wrong af personnel, take back your reputation.

This is disgusting. What about all of the employees who work for private contractors? It seems like mercenaries working for corporations are replacing military members whose loyalty is to the US.

Is that a good idea?

The Obamatrons wouldn’t be slashing veterans benefits and military pay to actually discourage enrollments.... would they?
