Obama Administration Readies Military Cuts

The people of America elect a Democrat and he runs through hacking and slashing the Military budget while handing out Billions to Corporations and Welfare programs. All this while China, Russia, North Korea and even Venezuela are beefing their military up. That's nice.

Two defense officials who were not authorized to speak publicly said Gates will announce up to a half-dozen major weapons cancellations later this month. Candidates include a new Navy destroyer, the Air Force's F-22 fighter jet, and Army ground-combat vehicles, the officials said.

More cuts are planned for later this year after a review that could lead to reductions in programs such as aircraft carriers and nuclear arms, the officials said

Don't try giving me the Gates is a Republican. He is going by what his boss says because he wants to keep his job. He is just a patsy, their so Obama can say that he didn't do it.

The United States "cannot expect to eliminate national security risks through higher defense budgets, to do everything and buy everything," Gates said. The next defense secretary, he warned, would have to eliminate some costly hardware and invest in new tools for fighting insurgents.

The Raptor is a next gen fighting machine. So is having an updated Destroyer and Aircraft Carrier. Gates is just pandering to his "kill the military" boss.

All this and Obama plans to charge wounded War Heros for Medical Service.
