Obama Plan Would Slash Army, Limit Ability to Endure Long-Term Conflicts
 

Assuming he actually sticks to it, that would be a good start...

FULL STORY

it's about time.

Ah, election time, I can't wait to be promised the world by all politicians and then to watch the exact opposite unfold over the next 4 years (no matter who wins).

I don't believe a single word that comes out of that con-artist's mouth. If Obama's lips are moving, he's lying.

Remember just weeks ago Obama pledging to veto the National Defense Authorization Act while telling the America people he was fighting to protect their rights... hahahahahahaha!

I think it's best if the elites re-install Obama again in 2012. At least then it won't take Americans ANOTHER 2-3 years to figure out they are being screwed.

Isn't that the TRUTH!

Say one thing to get the votes than line their pockets from lobbyist to pass laws to help their cause.

We need a lot of combat troops. Get in, do the job, leave. Done. None of this occupying crap.

Ah, election time .......... the first thing that came to my mind as well:winkwink:

Beginning with President Bush Senior and followed thru by President Clinton the military was cut by approximately half. The Army currently has only 10 active Combat Divisions and the Marine Corp has 3 active Combat Divisions (really only two as one is mostly a paper Division). A Combat Division is normally some where around 15 thousand strong with a reinforced Division being around 20,000 strong.

Using the larger number the U.S. only has...at max... 240,000 active duty combat troops...thus there is no way in hell that Combat Troops need to be cut.

He's going to be promising a whole lotta shit to secure his next four years. Remember the first time around?

Still waiting for him to close Gitmo.

The sad thing is, people ARE that stupid to believe them, time and time again.

Makes me think the people deserve their leaders.

He made the attempt and there was a hugh backlash from the American people.

Some people may believe them but it certainly would not constitute a majority. In addition they often learn that they do not have the power or the will of the American people behind them to achieve some of what they say they will do.

We should build more nuclear subs and b52s... In case the USSR attacks us 40 years ago!

Just like all his other promises.

Not to worry it wont happen. Its just to get himself re elected.

Obama lies, don't believe him. They're all liars who just want your vote.

who is it that you have voted into power that has made a difference compared to the rest of the 'stupid' people?

If the answer is nobody, how does that make you any different? Apathy isn't a stance remember.

The US military is a hammer now. The enemy we face these days requires a scalpel.

Think about all of the money we could spend on the education system if we weren't tossing billions into outdated fighter jet programs -- or buying tanks(for what tank battle?).

i read somewhere that now after signing this NDAA it's practicably impossible to close Gitmo

Controlling the air is extremely important and tanks serve to protect the infantry...not just to fight other tanks.

You guys are talking a lot of sense.

USA needs to stop wasting money on unecessary wars.

In addition air support for the Infantry is extremely important...to the Infantry and Armored units.

Cut the Pentagon's budget?!

Oh no, how will we ever survive?!
