    Cuts are certainly in order, but I think most Americans would agree that reducing our forces to pre-WWII levels is going a bit too far...

    Hey laughing boy...I don't remember anyone demanding you military anywhere.

    In fact...I've met a few British and Canadian soldiers who've had to go to battle with you big military and ya know what...to a man they say...Never Again!

    Your Big Military can't even defeat a handful of nomads.
    Your Big Military about leveled Bagdad and STILL couldn't defeat them completely.
    Your Big Military hasn't won a war in ... well ... since before the Vietnamese kicked you sorry butts.

    So get a grip.

    Wit all the czars that makes no sense. Obama wants to make the economy worse and drive unemployment to double digits

    Maybe you should go through some of the wikileaks again, you know the ones that weren't cherry picked by Assange? They show the exact opposite world that you claim exists.

    Ya...and maybe you should come to the realization that the world is not interested in your particular brand of imperialistic cowboy politics anymore...if we ever were...

    Take your military, and your killin' machines, and go make sure those big bad Mexicans don't ruin you nation...LOL

    Nobody needs your warmongering ways.
    Its time you grew-up as a nation.

    Tee hee! Look at the little Canadian trying to talk tough! He reminds me of one of those ankle-biting chihuahuas whose bark is just as bad as his bite until you step on him. :-D

    Good.

    A military that size is about perfect to defend our territory from foreign attack and still maintain an offensive strike capability. But it will be too small for the kind of rampant interventionism we have now.

    I say again, good.

    Tee hee! Look at the arrogant Yankee trying to act important.
    Shall we burn down your Whitehouse again?
    Or maybe you'd like to go kick some butt in Vietnam again?

    LOL...fools should not be allowed to carry firearms...

    Why should there be outrage? Reducing the size of the Federal government is a good thing.

    Good, the military is too large and expensive.

    Conservatives who complain about big government should love this.

    Ah. Then we should never reduce the size of the government then.

    Because Obama wants to create jobs, not cut them.

    If the military was union, he would not want to cut them.

    And you don't think that people with a solid work ethic can find jobs?

    I thought your guys' argument was that if you are unemployed, you're just lazy. Former military members should have no trouble finding jobs.

    Never said that. Obama is going to kill more jobs. why?

    Maybe they are dedicated and want to be in the military and not leave yet.

    Obama hates military members.

    #1) These are not Pres Obama's cuts, The House of Representatives holds the purse strings.
    #2) It is a fiscal contingency plans, should the Budget Super Committee fail to come up with an agreement.

    But alas, another incorrect misleading post aimed to cast aspersions at Pres Obama.

    And if people want to work for EPA or DOE, we should keep them on just because they want to work?

    No, the EPA and DOE are not things the federal government is supposed to be involved in. But nice try at moving goal posts.

    We need to cut military spending to the bone. It's dead weight and is bankrupting us.
