Bomb are nice (despite the “objective”), but the F-35 is a must ...

I have wondered if the plan wasn’t to deplete the arsenal by just wearing out the weapons we have, and the people (God Bless Them!) who wield them.

Americans.....get for your own welfare...get rid of both Obama & Loretta Lynch....they are not protecting you or your families!!! Force them both to resign or impeach them!!! The slaughter of innocent Americans will not come under control until these people ar removed from office!!!

And.....I am not just talking about Muslim Terroist attacks....I’m talking about thousands of African-Americans, slaughtered on the Obama, Holder, Lynch “watch” over the last eight years....where these disgusting folks did absolutely nothing to really get these murders of Black citizens, children, included, under control and stopped!!!

I don’t believe much of any of this so-called war against ISIS.

By raising 129 divisions, mostly through conscription, launching 2500 warships, and sending brave men armed with bayonets and flamethrowers to kill the enemy, one by one, until they surrendered.

Well, there's that too. My point was only that increasingly today we find ourselves with a smaller supply of very expensive weapons that are used in ways to deliberately inflict as few casualties on the enemy as possible. That's not how to win a war. However, it's a great way to empty our depots of these very expensive weapons.

That was a total effort. Even women and children helped the war effort. Next time we may see that again is war against China or a nuke attack, but half of the country would probably help the other side.

Same thing happened under Carter. It was called a “hollowed out” force.

They also short on recruitment and training.

A lot of the training is straight out indoctrination in P.C. subjects.

Yes, and the presidents that sent those men with bayonets and flamethrowers didn’t call Shintoism or Nazism “peaceful”.

The military could save America BEFORE they run out of ammo.

There is defense spending and there is defense spending

rather than spending on weapons, the money is spent on women and social military applications

the problem is the commander in chief that commands a military he will not allow to fight

the fiercest enemy of the American military is not ISIS but barack Obama

Obama (telling one of his usual bold faced lies):” What do you mean I am soft on ISIS??? Our military has dropped soooooo many bombs they are running out of them!”

So...now the story is not that it’s a lack of will, but a lousy supply chain?

BS!

Wasted as many as possible on desolate sandy tracts to deplete what might eventually be used against the enemy...
