A Military for a Dangerous New World
The NYT opines on what a President Obama will need to do with our military. They and the Democrats have spent the last eight years depicting our troops as broken, depressed or damaged goods, or as heartless killers, or as ruthless automatons bombing enemies into submission, or as stupid, bitter young men and women with no other prospects for getting out of the sticks to which they cling.
Now they think they know what our military needs.
And no surprise, they think the military should cut all the expensive stuff like the F-22 and new naval combat ships, dump the ballistic missile defense until it can be 'guaranteed' to work, and so on. And no one should think that their advice have more marines and soldiers, more transport capacity, and more 'preparedness' and training for small wars is genuine: that's the sort of thing a Democrat always cuts first when they're looking for spare change to fund new social welfare initiatives.
The NYT is calling for less military. It's what they believe in. It's going to be a rough four years. |
