“1.5 billion for the swine flu scare.

“an someone get me some current figures of money spent in the first 100 days?”

Not sure what the $ amount is but uncle obama has gutted the national guard by 19,000 soldiers, maybe that money is offsetting the funding. I love change.”

“Just cleaning up the republicans' mess.”

“gutting the military during two wars is cleaning up the republicans mess? Its f'n retarded.”

“Yes - losing an election by a landslide has consequences. Surprised?


”

“the military is a non political organization. Its funding should be also.”

“That assumes what you say is true.

I don't.”

“Your ASSumptions reveal much about you.”

“There are facts�.. � Then there are characterizations of those facts by partisans. � You suggest I take what you say at face value? � Sorry, no.”

“It has nothing to do with me or my opinions rather the the constitutional structure that built an independent/apoltical military. Try seperating personality from fact.”

“Fact.... according to you. � Right.”

“sorry to hear that birch. lucky there are folks like you that are still there.

“it's a farce to say the military is a-political.”

“Awe looky! Birch has decided to give of himself and volunteer to play with the retarded kids. You're a good man Birch! 8)”

“dude nigal dude why do you dude always say negative things about everyone dude. dude you are the second greatest masterbater on tt dude and this next topic will fit you as well.”

“Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude Dude dude...you're a douche.”

“Birch does sound a little disgruntled......he's more than likely a potential domestic terrorist now according to the Daddy-O Administration.”

“"Gutting The Military" has been used in the past as a scare tactic and since the U.S. military has never been gutted I doubt it will ever be.

The U.S.spending half of what the world spends on military makes the "gutting" charge seem a bit specious at best.”

“the U.S. military has never been gutted I doubt it will ever be.

You are aware of the huge cuts made in the 90's, correct? To R&D, intel, troop numbers, ships, squadrons, etc, etc. 9/11 was the direct result.”

“

I remember some of the propaganda.......”

“From Military.com

President Barack Obama's military budget also will revolve around former President George W. Bush's goal of increasing the size of the Army and Marine Corps by 92,000 active troops, as well as Obama's call for improving medical treatment of the wounded and reforming the Pentagon's acquisition processes.

Obama is proposing that the Defense Department receive $533.7 billion as a baseline budget for fiscal 2010, with another $130 billion in supplemental funding to bring the total to almost $664 billion.

The proposal for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 would compare with about $655 billion enacted and proposed for FY '09 -- a 1.4 percent year-over-year increase -- once another Obama proposal for $75.5 billion for a second, FY '09 supplemental is included. (Those figures do not include roughly $7 billion in personnel, health care and military construction spending recently appropriated under the economic stimulus law.)

"He wants to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps, improve the pay for our men and women in uniform, and improve the medical treatment of wounded service members," according to an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) statement. "At the same time, the president will pursue a reform of the acquisition process to make sure that funds are not being wasted on expensive and outdated weapon systems."”

“Silly libbies hate the military”

“'Taking over the world' rather than living with it, eh?”

“Seems like the right continues to buy into their own bullshiit while reality marches onward...”

“Grow the Military....yer gonna need more troops if ya wanna fight the wars AND quarrantine the population in the camps....”

“It is more of the same scare tactics and Chicken Little Schitt.

The U.S. military has not been gutted but the Republican Party certainly has been routed.”

“the president will pursue a reform of the acquisition process to make sure that funds are not being wasted on expensive and outdated weapon systems

Yeah, outdated like the F22 and BMD systems.”
