President Barack Obama will sharply cut ships, aircraft, and troops as part of a major reduction of U.S. military forces that will face even steeper downsizing in 2016, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Monday.
The defense cuts, to be announced formally in the president’s budget proposal next month, would reduce U.S. ground forces to their lowest level since World War II at a time when world threats are increasing.
The defense secretary outlined the dramatic reductions in a briefing for reporters at the Pentagon. They include significant cuts in Navy shipbuilding and Air Force aircraft purchases, and a 20 percent reduction in Army ground forces.
Several new weapons systems will be slashed and older weapons retired.
The solution is…. Cut all spending on Homeland Security and let the military budget alone, right?
This is NOT the end of the world. Nobody is going to invade us. I’m not sure if anyone has noticed, but WE have been doing the invading. We still have 10 Carrier Battle Groups, and that’s 7 more than the rest of the world combined. I won’t even mention all the nukes we have on hand. We are broke anyway…wake up. To repeat NOBODY_IS_GOING_TO_INVADE_US.
The article did not say anything about the country being invaded. And Congress has to approve these measures. The report is just that: a report.
that’s right…there will be no attack on the Great Satan until after the Little Satan has been taken down.
