I traveled the interstate system this past week and people are working and improving our infrastructure across the nation......in order to be a world superpower, we need that infrastructure and an economy which can support our military. The cuts are not enough if they are strictly only making cuts in personnel......we need to shut down ships and air bases.....all around the world.

Maybe they'll get work with Blackwater ...
And please don't give me that patriotic crap about how wonderful we're doing in Afghanistan.
The truth is, not a single fucking Taliban in all of Afghanistan ... wait ... not a few thousand Taliban in all of Afghanistan is any threat to my subdivision. It appears that if we leave them alone they'll kill each other off for free.
Reality.

Reality is that your head is up your butt.

Those majors obviously didn't have good enough fitness reports to be ahead of their peers, so they got a pink-slip. Events like that happen every day in the private world. A CEO suddenly decides to eliminate 5,000 jobs to raise his company's share price, and whamo--you are out the door.

They are Americans, and like the Americans who used to make buggy whips, they are not necessary in a America with a reduced military presence in the world. However, a nation which pours its resources down a rabbit hole of the military industrial complex will have their wealth stolen and their standard of living dropped.............

2seaoat wrote:It is idiotic to think we are even close to a reduction which will negatively impact the defense of America. It will however deter the incessant need by the military industrial complex to create foreign wars to fuel their profits. The founding fathers did not want a standing army, and we will slowly wean ourselves from the wasteful and totally draining policies which destroy our economy. It will be the strength of our economy which determines the strength of our military. The reductions have only begun.

Dude there are less than 10k people in Astan to not include contractors. The draw down is over, but you keep justifying giving American tax dollars to ILLEGALS invading our nation....goes to show, along with Obama, your priorities suck as well. If anything, we're going to have to come back and use this military somewhere after Obama is gone from office and he is gutting it to the point that it will take what's left of the remainder of his term of office to repair and restore it. It's almost purposeful in its intent....sad that you would go along with the worst POTUS in the history of this nation to fund illegals while putting your own countrymen out of work. Yes, you have lived your life and have your's obviously and the rest of us be damned huh....hurry up and leave the Earth....or better yet, get well and stick around to reap what you have sown. You're too old and feeble to do any fighting back....

Shut up, slime.

You might as well tie it to aid to Israel, or funding FEMA........the military and the scope of its purpose and the response paradigm has changed. We no longer need to waste trillions on defense capital expenditures which in an economy is like flushing dollars down a toilet while Japan, Germany, and China use those capital assets to expand their economies and grow their gdp..........sorry you are angry, but the military is going to be much smaller......much....much.....much smaller, and it has nothing to do with other issues......the cuts stand on their own merit.
2seaoat wrote:There is a special on HBO which documents the trumped up charges against some NY low lives that the FBI converted into terrorists and got all kinds of press using a questionable informer......keep us in fear, justify keeping the military industrial complex fat with profits and America continuing to loose its economic engine. This is simple. Cut military spending drastically. We do not need to give up our dominance.....just do not need five to one military superiority.

WE don't have just five enemies
You would never pass a freshman year geopolitical quiz.......we really do not have enemies in a conventional military context. We do have adverse interests with some nation states, and certainly some terrorists who are not aligned with a nation state may be our enemies, but a conventional military response has been proven totally ineffective. We need to reduce by almost fifty percent and invest in smaller more effective footprints. Personnel are non productive and draining on our gdp. As our GDP does not keep up with other nations, we lose military strength as our economy declines. Economy first, and military way down the line.
