U.S. military decimated under Obama

[Delta4Embassy]

Railguns and lasers right around the corner.

Lasers don't make good 'kill weapons.' They're great for targetting and ranging, not so hot (heh) for destroying or killing. It's basically just a very hot very small point of light that takes time to burn through.

Weapons system I'd think is under development is something that can be used where the enemy doesn't even know they're under attack. Natural disasters often come to mind. If you can cause an earthquake or hurricane or other massive natural calamity, your enemy will be effected but not even realize they're under attack.

Climate change too comes to mind. If when we realized the gunk we pump into the air is having a global effect, rather than stopping it, we might have figured melting the polar ice caps, raising the sea levels, and changing weather patterns makes a pretty good global-effect weapon where no one even knows it's happening by design.

If you melt the polar ice caps, the 60% global population living near oceans will be flooded further inland. Bring lots of people together and the result is crime and strife. They kill each other for you. And all without even knowing they were attacked. A massive reduction in the global population benefits those who'd make it happen. Fewer people are easier to control.

Sci-fi and paranoia? Sure. But strategically sound. So much so I haven't ruled it out.

Obama has done a lot to decimate the military but one of the worse things is that he hasn't defined their mission. They don't know what they suppose to be doing.

Obama doesn't know what he is doing in foreign policy and in his incompetency he has not defined the role of the military.

When the stupid Libtards elected an extreme far Left Affirmative Action Community Organizer that never had the sense of duty or courage to serve in the military as the Commander in Chief they really screwed this country.

Dismantling the greatest military on earth and demoralizing the military and making us weaker is part of that "fundamental change" that Hussein promised us. We can thank the Moon Bats for it.

By utter coincidence this tends to happen with Democrat presidents.

Like LBJ.
Like FDR.
Like Wilson.

LBJ was a war profiteer. He was the last of the old guard. Now we have these liberals that think you can talk to your enemies and convince them not to be aggressive. They don't understand how any leader in an impoverished country could be all that bad. So what if they murder their own people or throw them in jail. In order to retain power sometimes corruption is necessary. Besides, all they have to do is talk about Global Warming in glowing terms, all is forgiven.

To be fair perhaps Obama's new "jobs" program for jihadists will bear fruit

 

[Moonglow]

Notice, how the liberals (socialist/marxists that we call liberals) see this as great news.

We still have the world's largest military.....Why cry about that?

Decimate, to reduce by 10%...or to kill every tenth man for cowardice as a unit in action...

Oblama never stated that...

 

[mudwhistle]

I never claimed the US lags behind, I said new weapon systems are being developed and our enemies are doing the same. You don't think China is developing systems also?

We are also developing new weapon systems

It is what we do

Your deflection is noted

What is being deflected

Why don't you show us the cuts in the military budget under Obama?

You are the one claiming decimation...show it

Start with purging top military leadership (like Clinton did) then move on to ROE, then cutback on solders. We'll get into Intel leaks after you digest the previous

Show us the stats on how President Clinton purged top military leaders....awaiting your information.

He didn't purge top military brass. He mainly focused on lower ranks. Those with drug or alcohol convictions, overweight, those that couldn't make rank, folks that refused to transfer to critical MOSs and stayed in their overstaffed cushy jobs. He also cut back on needed protective armor. The reason Iraq was a mess was because we didn't have the armor to maintain the rebuilding phase after conventional hostilities ceased. IEDs became the weapon of choice for our enemies.

His State Department did. That's their policy for the record.

Don't you ever get tired of political satire?

Between 1992 and 2000, the Clinton Administration cut national defense by more than half a million personnel and $50 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars. The Army alone has lost four active divisions and two Reserve divisions. The number of total active personnel in the Air Force has decreased by nearly 30 percent. In the Navy, the total number of ships has decreased from around 393 ships in the fleet in 1992 to 316 today. Even the Marines have dropped 22,000 personnel.

In spite of these drastic force reductions, military missions and operations tempo increased. Because every mission affects far greater numbers of servicemen than those directly involved, most operations other than warfare, such as peacekeeping, have a significant negative impact on readiness.

Clinton Destroyed the Military

But did it come from Oblama's mouth?

If he destroyed it, it seems to still be there...

Apparently the military industrial fat cats that Eisenhower warned us against aren't rich enough yet.

And that is the key

The militaries mission is evolving. More focused on the war on terror than on nation building. The mission of our military should not be the worlds policeman, Let the EU take the lead on threats in Europe and the Middle East. Let Japan and South Korea have the lead in Asia with the US in a supporting role

 

[cnm]

We have a military stronger than the next ten nations combined and eight of those ten are our allies

It is time for the US to stop playing world policeman and make our allies step up to the plate

C'mon, they'd never invade enough countries to satisfy you.

But how else do we conquer the world with a nation still on a war footing since WWII and the largest military that no other nation has?
