He is killing healthcare; he's killed the economy, and now he is killing the American military too. Yesterday Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno said that only two Army brigades were combat ready, which is about 14,000 - 20,000 troops because no training has been conducted for 6 months. That's roughly the same combat power as Britain or France.
Obama is the Commander in Chief and when the CINC sends our people in harm's way, they should be the best equipped, the best trained, the best everything because we don't want a fair fight. To do any less is to put our people at substantial risk and that is exactly where they - and we - are right now.
