Our military

[ann jusko]

I've had the hearing on ISIL on and am appalled that our military's budget has been cut to the bone and yet, our president is now sending the military to Africa to set up a 100 bed hospital for ebola patients. There will HAVE to be "boots on the ground" in Iraq. Let's see, will their rations be cut in order to fulfill the commitment of our welfare state? Those of us who have family in the military are or should be incensed! These are both very high risk assignments. And yet, there is no respect from our POTUS for our fighting force or what's left of it.

Remember the criticism Bush took for not providing our troops the best possible equipment?

Remember the criticism that Rumsfeld received when he announced on 10 Sept 01 that the Pentagon had lost 2.3 trillion dollars?
I don't.
