Military spending cuts

Thank God we are finally going to cut the very thing that got our country in such horrible shape to begin with. Chuck Hagel is a smart man and he realizes that our military is way too big and wasteful. The military needs to learn how to do more with less and they need to stop mentally abusing half of the troops causing them to blow their brains out half the time.

Unfortunately, the Air Force will be eliminating the Warthog; one of the best planes EVER, to keep the F-35 program running. The F-35 is ridiculously expensive, delicate, and unreliable.

Military entitlements are now a thing of the past.

It's about time all these crazy military government hand outs are cut.

Federal spending on the military must be preserved. The GOP has this right. We need those forces to potentially invade Ukraine and Syria.

The GOP is also right to cut veterans benefits. That is a cut we need. The GOP has been pushing this common sense plan for years. Vets become leeches on the government teat.

People are only important before they are born. Soldiers should only be honored as they risk their lives and not after. Got it.

Maybe we should move all those graves in Arlington to West Virginia so condo's and townhouses can be built there. It already has a metro station so the property value is through the roof.

The military consists of human beings, eesh. You know this. Some are called to duty while others are simply looking for a job or avoiding jail time.

While a lot of them will see dangerous duty in defense of our country, most will be nothing more than support staff shuffling papers and mopping floors.

The world isn't the same as it was during WWII or Korea or Vietnam.

Sounds like you're a real expert. You should be a training office at Ft. Bragg.

Evidently Sgt. Mikhail has ruffled some feathers. Someone registered the screen name so now I use the .

I served too but I hoped they would have cut me. Nothing heroic or brave about being shot or mortered at. The way some of draftees viewed the fucking Army was they didn't have any good soldiers so they conscripted US.
The military needs to be trimmed down 70% percent. In case of war,reinstate the draft.

I'd agreed that military (and all other spending) is out of control, but drafting people only when you need them is a good way to have lots of them killed. Witness WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, both soldiers and due to a lack of preparation and experience by people who aren't on the front lines.

We might owe benefits to draftees, but not to volunteers. They signed on the dotted line knowing that future government spending will have to be cut. We need to focus on building up for the next war, not licking our wounds from the last one.

They spend more on healthcare than military pay.

There's what called "Terms of Enlistment". Check it out.

The benefits are key to attracting volunteers. So there's understanbly a feeling by vets that the government is reneging on its bargain.

Most lives are lost due to bad leadership.

A conscript army is a terrible idea. Low morale, poor motivation, minimal training. Analysts have often cited Russia's conscript military as a large factor in its shortcomings in military campaigns.

The focus now is on UAVs and other drones. Boston Dynamics was a high profile company involved in this. Now that they went from tiny company to a subsidiary of Google, who knows what they can do now.

Unfortunately, the gov handouts INCREASE to the military contracts (Read lobbyists) such as Ngrum and the rest

Spending is still going up for special forces. They don't need large forces. A lot of these conflicts have been going on for decades with stealth US involvement.

Agree. 1st time I went to the NTC an A10 lit up pretty much our entire battalion.

Who cares? There's nothing worth fighting for anymore now that the Left has turned the White West into a multicultural cesspit.

The U.S. government and military (and the larger White Western world) responded to the pisslamic world declaring jihad on White Western civilization by building infrastructure in the pisslamic world and by allowing muslimes to mass immigrate to the White West by the tens of millions.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

If the pisslamic world had the resources that we did they'd be waging a nonstop global jihad to conquer the entire world for pisslam.

The Chinese are going to completely dwarf us relatively soon anyway and all of our fake "allies" will abandon us and align with them. So what the fuck is the point of wasting so much money to maintain our "spheres of influence" (i.e., our impotent liberal empire)? We don't get anything out of it.

Maybe if ran the world like a traditional empire with extensive colonies and the stealing of resources it would be worth it.

The U.S. military is also the mecca of affirmative action and a major cockblock for White Nationalists like myself. If racist Whites ever tried to crate their own ethnostate, you can bet that that the U.S. military would happily try to crush them. God forbid they respect the desire of people to just be left alone.
