#1 It’s imperative that Congress act to retire legacy weapons systems like the A-10 Warthog

Well, the author lost me, right there. They may need refurbishing - or even produce brand new aircraft of the same design. But - stick with a winner.

#4 IT will take a while to root out the politically correct and true believers promoted to bird colonel and general during Obama

It will take longer to replace the superior talent and dynamic leadership of those forced out of the service.

#6 Social engineering and PC have always infected the military--much more so during the last 6 years. Their sole purpose should be to defend the country--not nation building, addressing ebola epidemics or making the military a haven for various splinter groups.

#7 Cause replacing competent military leadership with agenda driven political hacks worked so well for the Iraqis.

When you see this taking place in the Pentagon Courtyard, you'll know our military is finished.
