Obama plans to cut tens of thousands of ground troops

[txradioguy]

Are they cuts or reductions in the rate of growth?

Cuts.

Military historians agree that a drastic reduction in our armed forces has always resulted in major conflict. Usually quite soon after the announced cuts.

The signal to our worst enemies, especially Iran who is crazy to begin with, has no forseeable result other than a major conflict. We have signalled weakness with a desire to become weaker still.
