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.

Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney:

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.
