...Anyway, yes, these military cuts were sorely needed. Anyone who says we're crippling our military hasn't taken a good look at the military and technological power harnessed by the DoD these days. If you compare our air force to, say, that of China, we're not only ahead of them, we're ahead of them technologically by two full generations of fighter technology. We spend more on defense than the next 43 countries combined. We have enough nukes to destroy an entire hemisphere of the planet. I think we'll be OK.
