OK slipped ROCKER.........er, I mean cork.........just how safe today are you SINCE those wars. I think NO attacks on the US is kinda a good metric...but hell I guess you think they are all giddy about Obama and will NEVER attack us again....RIGHT.Originally Posted by slippedcork
With regards to that Clinton budget........how did he GET there.......
I will tell you how.........
He GUTTED the military.......WHICH is why we had to do some silly biltz type war effort in the beginning......
Here is a list of military cuts out of slick willies administration........
709,000 REGULAR (ACTIVE DUTY) PERSONNEL.
293,000 RESERVE TROOPS.
EIGHT STANDING ARMY DIVISIONS!
20 AIR FORCE AND NAVY AIR WINGS WITH 2,000 COMBAT AIRCRAFT
232 STRATEGIC BOMBERS.
9 STRATEGIC BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINES WITH 3,114 NUCLEAR WARHEADS ON 232 MISSILES.
500 ICBMs WITH 1,950 WARHEADS.
FOUR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS AND 121 SURFACE COMBAT SHIPS AND SUBMARINES PLUS ALL THE SUPPORT BASES, SHIPYARDS, AND LOGISTICAL ASSETS NEEDED TO SUSTAIN SUCH A NAVAL FORCE.
And at the time......these cuts would have made up the 3rd largest army in the WORLD..........yea...........Clinton sure served us WELL.
Later,
Geo
