US Army plans to cut 40,000 troops over next two years
.
*EDITORIAL NOTE* That’s a great idea. ISIS grows in numbers every damn minute, and we’re cutting spending by getting rid of troops. Yeah, that’s gonna go great! Good Luck with that DOD and Capitol Hill.
.
The U.S. Army is planning to cut more than 40,000 troops over the next two years, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News Tuesday.
.
General Martin Dempsey announced at a Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing Tuesday that dwindling resources was a major factor in the decision to cut the number of active troops from 490,000 to 450,000.
.
In addition to the troop cuts, 17,000 Army civilian employees will be laid off in a plan that is to be formally announced on Thursday.
.
The announcement comes just one day after President Obama said there were “no current plans” to send more troops to Iraq to fight Islamic State, although he did not rule out the possibility in the future.
.
In 2014, former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel first announced a plan to cut the Army to pre-9/11 levels and pre WWII levels in a 2015 budget proposal.

My Thoughts: If the whole reason is to cut manpower over all, then what about this; we’ve spent millions of dollars to train and prepare these Army personnel to be some of the highest capable military force America has seen up to date, so why doesn’t the Army just keep these people who are all trained up and reduce the number of people who enlist in the Army to achieve the reduction numbers that they are being required to accomplish.

Because we probably need more low rank enlisted rather than senior enlisted and officers. Its not just about individual qualifications.

OUR MILITARY IS BEING CUT,
OUR SOLDIERS ARE HAVING THEIR BENEFIT's
CUT & THE GOVERNMENT'S GONE BACK ON ITS
PROMISE OF FREE MEDICAL CARE & DENYING DISABILITY TO THOSE PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY TORN APART, FOR NO GOOD REASON, IN POLITICAL WARS!


Our retired seniors,
living on 'fixed incomes', have their
taxes raised, to send to these countries,
& also, are having medical benefits cut.


Our own citizens receive NO aid, unless they're the ones who
refuse to work, & have babies
for welfare payments!

Nor do the seniors & working public
get any breaks, while our government
& religious organizations will pour
Hundreds of Billions Of dollar's,
& Tons of Food, to Foreign Countries & the illegals,
& the leeches within our borders!

AMERICA:
A country where we have

Our brave warriors, damaged for life,
waiting in year long lines for their due,
the elderly going without needed medication,
& the mentally ill without treatment,
& for all of us, our safety is at risk,
because prisoners are being released,
back onto the streets, due to "lack of funds"
-- etc.

& YET.......


They'll have a "Benefit Show"
For the people of Haiti , on 12 TV Stations;
with ships & planes lining up with food,
water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors
& medical supplies.



Now Just Imagine, if
Our own *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US'
the same support they give foreign countries.
