The US Military is too weak now to deal with global threats, according to a report released from an independent panel appointed by Congress and the Pentagon.
The report calls the defense cuts “dangerous” as “global threats and challenges are rising,” with China and Russia claiming new territory, nuclear threats by Iran and North Korea and, of course, the rapid rise of ISIS in Iraq.

So we spend literally what the next 12 countries combined spend on their militaries, yet we’re not prepared.

ARREST OBAMA
Piece of c**p
Yes, Joseph Jacobs?
If you want my military opinion, this article is full of $#%&!@*.
So much idiocy….. so little time to comment on it all
Obama is creating a police state?
Since when? There’s zero indicators of this… well at least for anyone NOT wearing tinfoil on their head.
Smallest and oldest aircraft in its history?
Sure. we have dropped the very large F-15 and have sized down the B-52 fleet. Our planes are, on average, much smaller, and do much more than they ever have. Furthermore, we have the most advanced fleet of aircraft in the entire world and nobody is even close to us.
Hiring undocumented workers?
$#%&!@*ing $#%&!@*bag alarmist author links to another ‘truthandaction’ article which states: “a Pentagon recruitment plan called Military Accessions Vital to National Interest, would allow some undocumented immigrants with critical language or medical skills to enlist in the armed forces”
Holy $#%&!@*…. you mean…. we could fill critical shortages with people who desperately want to be a part of our nation?
That is EXACTLY who I want in my Army!! I want the guy who wants to be a citizen so bad that he’ll do what 99% of americans never do: Serve in the Armed Forces.
Getting rid of the Hellfire:
Yah, it’s being replaced by a better model, the JAGM.
Getting rid of the Tomahawk:
This one is the only contentious one. But remember, the president doesn’t just throw dartboards at the wall and decide what to do. Generals recommend actions to him when it comes to the military. It is his decisions, but the options on the table all belong to our military.
“The Navy will sustain the Tomahawk missile while it starts developing a new weapon called the Next Generation Land Attack Weapon”

Firing 200 “top military commanders”
Grand Total thus far ((as of the time the article that was referenced was written)): “197 (Mostly Colonel and above. 127 AF majors included…they all occurred at one time, apparently).”
How can you have 127 out of 197 MAJORS released and also say “Mostly Colonel and above”. Do these people who write this drivel understand just how stupid they really are? Or are they oblivious to it? I’m kinda curiuos.
Furthermore, being a major myself, I can tell you that that rank is NOT considered as a “top miltiary commander”. Majors are the 2nd Lieutenants of the higher ranks. We have a lot of responsibilities, but “top military commanders” we are not.
This article then goes on to say that “the grounds [for dismissal] range from “leaving blast doors on nukes open” to “loss of confidence in command ability” to “mishandling of funds” to “inappropriate relationships” to “gambling with counterfeit chips” to “inappropriate behavior” to “low morale in troops commanded” …. yep. All those things WILL get you kicked out as a “top military commander”. Absolutely they will, and they SHOULD!
I’ve already gone on too long, but I felt it was important to respond to your tagging of me.
To sum it up…. This kind of writing serves one purpose: To misinform and get you all riled up for no reason.
Fear. It’s much more popular than measured reason, critical thinking, and facts.
And again nobody does anything about it.
Hopefully, his butt will be among the first to be bitten!
