Obama

The Defense Department will force out career Army soldiers, Marines or other members of the military of the services for the first time since the aftermath of the Cold War to achieve the spending reductions in Obama's budget proposal.

The Pentagon plans to cut 67,100 soldiers.

Shields, spears, tanks, computers and all of it do not not equal a soldier.

In my Mom's day they took kids at 18 by force and many died as they were not trained, not professionals.
They made a good show of it, but many died because they were just kids.

Now we have a well trained professional Army that is like nothing history has ever seen.
You can't replace that with better planes and rockets.

History shows you can't just go out and draft kids as needed and end up with a winning Army.  Make no mistake, the guys being drafted were 18, not the older guys portraying them in the movies yall love who made millions and were never fired on. 


Cutting these professional soldiers is shit.  It is more than just saving a few bucks, but selling out America.
Next year Obama will  be taking on the tough task of finding these guys a job and throwing tax payer money at it. These guys have a job now and they are good at it. Their job is one of the few covered by taxes by the founding fathers.

I prefer Obama be out trying to find himself a new job next year.

I agree with everything you said. When I think of all the sacrifices the brave and honorable people of this country made to make America great .... and now the liberal media and worthless self-serving politicians are destroying us from within. When I was in the military, I'd get teary eyed watching the flag being raised. Now, I get teary eyed for another reason.

Thanks,
