Given the cuts being proposed it doesn’t seem to me that the Neocons at DOD feel very threatened by ‘Russian Aggression’. I do know that in the late 1930s FDR did feel threatened and did sharply ramp-up our military.
....”..The proposed E-7 and F-35 cuts sent shockwaves through the Air Force community and prompted 16 retired four-star generals — including six former chiefs of staff — to speak out against the changes.”....
....I wonder how many of these retired generals have financial interests in keeping this F-35 boondoggle afloat....how many are on the boards of directors of these defense [sic] contractor companies....??
