    Default How good is the condition of the U.S. military after 3 years of Trump?

    The next time you have a bit of spare time, peruse the link below and you will find some surprising facts.

    Since it's only our shores we care about now, we're way overspending regardless of condition. Use the savings to reduce the budget deficit.

    Obama did a lot of damage, and it's going to take a long time to repair it.

    Remember also, with all the money the government has squandered, and all of the wasteful, duplicative programs it has created, there isn't much money for rebuilding.

    Remember Bill Clinton balanced the budget and reduced the deficit briefly. He still brags about it. What he doesn't brag about is that he starved our military doing it enabling countries like China to catch up. Giving and selling them our military secrets helped them as well. It will take decades (if ever) to recover.

    The Rosenberg's were executed for far less.

    Our military should always be fully funded but checks put on waste.

    I wonder how many of Heritage's "team" ever actually wore the uncomfortable green suit.
    The biggest issue with The Donald and the U.S. military is his wanting to take funds away from the military to build his silly wall.
    "...money the government has squandered..." Every government, everywhere does that. Our local unelected civil servants(outside workies who don't fix the roads) were just handed a 2% per annum pay increase. So were our already over paid cops(all of 'em will be getting over 100 grand plus benefits). The CF needs to buy a bunch of new executive aircraft due to navigational technology changes Stateside and in Europe. It never ends.
    Spelling and grammar count!

    Togor is a God. He read and absorbed and dismissed everything the military leaders said in the report that would take a mere human 9 hours just to read and did it in less than 40 minutes.
