OBAMA AIMING FOR 'UNILATERAL DISARMAMENT'
General: 'This was the administration's plan all along'

The
Obama administration is proposing the biggest cuts to the military in
generations, citing an end to the war in Afghanistan and the impact
of sequestration, but critics allege the president and Pentagon
officials are engaging in a deliberate and dangerous hollowing out of
the U.S. Armed Forces.
Retired
U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney also said the cuts will further
erode already poor military readiness and signal the world that the
U.S. will be in no position to defend national security threats on
the scale it has in years past.
On
Monday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced plans for a $522
billion budget, which is still exponentially higher than than the
defense budget for any other nation. But the plan also calls for
bringing troop levels to the lowest level since before World War II.
The
plan would bring Army troops down to between 440,000 and 450,000.
It
also calls for the elimination of longstanding programs such as A-10
Warthogs and U-2 surveillance planes, although plans are in place to
replace them with different aircraft, including unmanned vehicles.
The
Navy will keep buying two destroyers and two attack submarines per
year while shelving 11 cruisers for modernization.
But
the shuffling of weaponry and shrinking of personnel in response to
changing needs and budget demands are not impressing McInerney. He is
also furious that the plan calls for service members paying more for
housing, seeing fewer benefits and losing a billion dollars in
spending on military commissaries.
“There’s
no question that this administration has us on a path of unilateral
disarmament,” McInerney said. “[Let's] not confuse ourselves.
He’s got us on a path of disarmament. What surprised me even more
is that he is making such deep personnel cuts in the services as far
as the commissaries, pay, these type of things that are going to have
a very negative impact on our morale.”
The
Obama administration asserts that with troops already out of Iraq and
those in Afghanistan coming home this year, ground troop numbers are
safe to recede a bit. Officials also point out that sequestration is
still in effect, and half of those cuts must come from the military.

My comments: President
Obama has a goal of "TRANSFORMING" of America into a
godless, Secular Humanist nation and ultimately to make America part
of One World Government, which is Satan's goal. The Disarmament of the US is part of that plan.
