Yeah, I know. That needs to be undone at least for a period of time.
Clinton was terrible but both of the Bushes were as bad. Neither cared one whit about our nuclear forces nor about their deterrence effect. They were no better than any Dem.
Barry is the most loathsome of the Presidents since I joined in 1975, and Carter was horrid. The only reason Carter even allowed us to operate was he was scared of the Soviets and thought if we had our forces, at least on paper, then they would not attack. Carter did run us out pretty thin and we only came back when Reagan became President. After Reagan we started the long slide to where we are today.
