Obama Slashes Military Spending - Supports "Civil Defense Corp"

Again, the Heritage Foundation has pounded the nail in tight with what the Obama administration is doing to destroy the military. It never was his, Obama, intention to support the military as a defense against people and nations that what to crush our will to defend ourselves.

It is this cut back in support of the military that Obama will use as an excuse to develop his 'Civil Defense Corp', funded through organization like ACORN and other "community organization" groups. Obama has allocated billions for this and other purposes to bring the population under his control. He will use the corp American citizens as the Russians used their military against Hungary.

It is clear to me that Obama does not like this country the way it is and he will use any tool or anyone to "change" it to what he thinks is fair. Fair, of course, means total domination of all aspects of American life by Marxist socialists with himself as supreme leader for life. Look out 22nd amendment.

Keep the faith - the people are see through the smoke screen of lies and misinformation.

More soldiers, less equipment

President Obama has agreed to temporarily expand the United States Army by 22,000 troops -- an important move to help ease the burden on soldiers serving multiple tours of duty overseas. But to pay for this increase, expected to cost about $1.5 billion, the President will redirect funds from important programs to purchase new equipment and modernize the military.

"It's terrible policy to scrimp on acquisition in order to pay people," writes Mackenzie Eaglen, a national security expert at The Heritage Foundation. Why add more men and women in uniform, she asks, "if we're not going to give them the tools they need to fight and win?"
"Instead of discussing what the military can do without, sacrifices often paid for with life and limb," she continues, "the real debate should focus on how to best pay America's military and ensure that new enlistees retain the military superiority possessed by today's forces."
The Heritage Foundation has long advocated committing sufficient funds to national security.

Spending four percent of GDP on defense, Heritage experts argue, would provide sufficient resources to protect the United States from current threats and prepare our military to meet tomorrow's dangers.

But the Obama administration would further slash defense funding in coming years. His "budget blueprint drastically reduces defense spending to just three percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2019, far below the current spending levels of approximately four percent," Eaglen explained in an April analysis.

This means that needed investment in critical tools like the F-22 and missile defense -- which the President called "lower-priority" programs -- would fall by the wayside.
Strengthening the military by bringing on additional troops is an important step, but it is not enough. Such an expansion needs to be coupled with increased funds to equip all servicemen and women with the tools to defend this country.

"The military deserves more than enough to barely get by," argues Eaglen. "Congress will regret any decision to continue cutting equipment at the expense of people."
