Defense cuts = Carter, Clinton, Obama
I smell a theme here.

Headquarters Marine Corps just announced cuts to the force by 15,000 over four years. I looked up Marine Corps end strength over the years. I looked at the years when I first was assigned to the Marines in the 1970s until now, and even though I knew from experience, it was interesting to see that that Marine Corps numbers dwindled during Democrat years and grew during Republican years. Check for yourself on the following link:

The same cuts applied to the other services as well during the same years.
Iran, Russia and China have reason to celebrate.
But, then, that's obama's point.

US defense spending as a percentage of GDP is about half of what is was in the 1960s. The US ranks 8th worldwide in defense spending as a percentage of GDP. I agree that there is plenty of room for cuts in DOD. We pay out a lot on lazy contractors for example. The global obligations of the US military require lots of money. What other countries spend on defense has nothing to do with what this country has to spend in order to protect itself.
No fair salt, ganging up on me with truthmatters like that. You two are an awesome force.
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

We spend more on the military then all other countries, combined. It's the biggest part of the government.
So what now? You guys want a big government?
