American self-defense on the decline

[billc]

Imagine as a martial arts enthusiast. You wake up and hear strangers in your home. You take your firearm just in time to stop the intruders at your bedroom door. Now, what do you do? Obama and his team would have you put your weapon on the floor to show the intruders that you are not a threat. That is what he is doing to the country with the cuts to our military. You may say, there is so much waste in the military, we can afford it. But can we really? Here is a clip from a radio show from Breitbart.coms Bigpeace forum. the men on the show are Bill Gertz and Frank Gaffney.

The general concept of deterrence doesn’t seem too difficult to understand does it? It is more cost effective to have the biggest and strongest military so that ‘competitors’ don’t find value in investing in trying to beat us. It looks like we messed that up

"Russia fires up its own missile defense program now that they have diplomatically neutered ours. We are beginning to see what ‘reset’ looks like and it’s not in our favor.

“What’s significant here is that when Defense Secretary Gates canceled further production of the F-22, the most modern fighter in the world, he cited China’s inability to field a fifth generation fighter comparable to it until 2020. Well here they have already rolled out a taxi test of one and it’s clear that they’re going to beat that deadline. So we’ve canceled a major program built on faulty intelligence. This is not the first time.” – Bill Gertz"
