A FUCKING OUTRAGE !!!

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN !!!

' Pentagon May Oust Troops Involuntarily to Meet Reductions in Budget Plan:

The Defense Department may have to force soldiers, Marines or other members of the military out of the services for the first time since the aftermath of the Cold War to achieve the spending reductions in its budget proposal.
The Pentagon plans to cut 67,100 soldiers from active and reserve Army units and the Army National Guard in the five years starting Oct. 1, as well as 15,200 from the active and reserve ranks of the Marine Corps as part of an effort to save $487 billion over a decade, according to the budget sent to Congress today. The Navy and Air Force would lose fewer people -- 8,600 and 1,700 respectively -- because of their role in a strategic shift toward the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East. '

This is already happening Rob. I have friends who are in who have reported that this has already started.

I'm very concerned my nephew (a US Army LT) who is still in medical school may get caught in this ...

He is serving in U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine

I agree. This is bad on a personal as well as a National Defense perspective. This was done before with disastrous results in Morale, National Defense and the cost it took to get a fighting force back onto its feet.

Jimmy Fucking Peanut Carter all over again ... it took Reagan 8 years to rebuild our military and give BACK her dignity ... having served under him, I'll NEVER FORGET RONALD REAGAN !!!
