Obama Military Downsizing Leaves U.S. Too Weak To Counter Global Threats, Panel Finds

An independent panel appointed by the Pentagon and Congress said Thursday that President Obama’s strategy for sizing the armed services is too weak for today’s global threats.

The National Defense Panel called on the president to dump a major section of his 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and write a broader strategy that requires the military to fight on multiple fronts at once.

It also said the shrinking U.S. armed forces, which are being downsized to fit that strategy and budget cuts, is a “serious strategic misstep on the part of the United States.” The forces’ numbers spelled out in Mr. Obama’s QDR are “inadequate given the future strategic and operational environment.”

Wow...really? Fund the government through the appropriation process instead of continual resolutions and provide the resources needed to truly support our troops as they deserve. Instead of hating democrats, liberals and the color of our Presidents skin, let's focus on protecting America, shall we???

The Presidents submitted budgets were voted down 414 to nothing and 97 to nothing!! no one, not even DEMOCRATS voted for his nonsense! Therefore the house HAD to fund through continuing resolutions because the President FORCED them too. (so ignorant shills like you could try to sway low info voters with lies and propaganda)
You've been called out!
