Massive Budget Cuts Would Redefine U.S. Military:

The Pentagon’s plan includes cutting 80 K soldiers, 10 K Marines and all A-10 ‘Warthogs.’

At such a chaotic time in history as the world is now experiencing, the Obama administration is making a grave mistake by cutting the military.

Beside the fact of putting the country under extreme danger by lessening our military strength; once again the government is “stiffing” the people that put their lives on the line to protect us. These people who intended to make the military their career are now being shoved out the door, some of which I am sure are close to retirement.

Where are all of these people going to find a job? What is their dismissal going to do to the already out of control deplorable unemployment situation in the USA?

The powers to be in DC expect to save 75 billion dollars by these military cuts. On the other side of the coin because of their ignorance they continue to send trillions of dollar to our know enemies across the pond. I find it very difficult to comprehend their logic or lack of it.

According to documented records the USA gave away $37,680,000,000 in foreign aid in 2012. Does this make sense when our country is in the “financial tank”?

These are the top 25 countries the USA gives foreign aid to every year.  The numbers are all in the millions.  Is it any wonder that our country is in a financial stress when making donations like this??

Many of these countries ***** that we GIVE these hand-outs to turn around and use the money in an attempt to undermine the USA. The vast majority of the money these counties receives is locked-up and squanders by their corrupt leaders.

It is mind boggling that we continue to give aid to other countries when our country is such bad shape. Now on top of it all, our leaders find it necessary to cut the military spending and get rid of the people that are keeping us safe.

I don’t know where these people in DC got their education but one thing I for sure, common sense courses were not part of their curriculum.

When is the best time for an adversary to attack their enemy, when they are at their weakest point.  The USA has never been as venerable as it is today.

Many people in this country are under the assumption that what is going on around the world, such as in Israel cannot happen on our soil; I say they are wrong.

One of the major factors that has put the USA in deplorable financial and domestic shape is the arrogance of its leaders. They think they are the “Untouchables”.

I will always maintain that “charity begins at home”. Take care of your own before you take care of others.

Cutting the military at this time is not a very smart decision on the administrations part just like many of their decisions they have made.

What is the old saying “we cut off our nose to spite our face.”
