Active Duty ping.

Cutting forces while they are literally still out on the field? And cutting them while terrorism is on the rise?

Yet another disaster of Obama’s election. Multiple single events that would alone make this administration worthy of being called a disaster, and altogether a massive disaster.

[redreno]

Keep those welfare checks coming in the mail, tho.

[Graybeard58]

If the moron Obama wants to cut something, cut the welfare rolls.

Oh, if he did that, he wouldn’t be bastard Obama now would he.

[VerySadAmerican]

First of all, I would NOT serve under this CIC. However, if I was in today and was told I’m about to get kicked out I’d say “I think I’ll leave today.”

[Chgogal]

Just wish we could give Obama a pink slip.

[jospehm20]

I would rather he just cut wrists.

[marron]

If lawmakers don’t put an end to budget cutbacks known as sequestration, which are scheduled to go back into effect in 2016, the force level could fall to 420,000.

Cutting the military in the middle of a war in order to preserve the Welfare State.

[tumblindice]

In ‘65 the Army had KIA “We regret to inform you ...” telegrams delivered by ... taxi drivers.
The Democrats are the party of compassion, donchaknow, but they know the military is conservative.

“Thank you for your service. Now, you’re fired.”

[Dapper 26]

Our country has gone WHACKO!!

[Rome2000]

Where are the cuts to the apparatchiks at the federal agency’s?

They are hiring like gangbusters

[Nachum]

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Why is the size of the civilian government workforce skyrocketing and the military is being cut? Something stinks here.

[DoughtyOne]

I’m telling you folks, this guy is trying to neuter our armed forces.

I know some folks understand this and agree. I also know there are folks who aren’t quite up to speed on it too.

[onedoug]

We are being steered by enemy Islamism with the CIC doing the driving.

[piasa]

It’s a communist coup but no one wants to say it.

[rodguy911]

Getting rid of as many officers as possible is all about the possibility of Martial Law or a variation thereof. Zero knows that the current crop of officers in the military probably wouldn't fire on its citizens.

Replace them with third worlders with no allegiance to anyone and you have a different type of military. This is what its all about. And its been going on for a while.

As to the budget cuts the specific cuts were decided by the regime not congress.

[trebb]

Cutting forces while they are literally still out on the field? And cutting them while terrorism is on the rise?

Not to mention that they are often deployed from units that are hard-pressed to make up for their absence. Our folks have been trying to find ways to keep some of our warriors from deploying because our mission is alrady on a fine edge and we are breaking a number of rules to keep things rolling.

[a fool in paradise]

Chelsea Manning Tranny Military Ping?
