Obama's new Pentagon strategy: Strip benefits & buy more weapons

The world's biggest military is about to get smaller - with President Obama announcing the biggest strategy review in years, to try and make the U.S. army leaner and cheaper. It includes changing from large ground wars, to what he says will be an expanded agile force across Asia, the Pacific and the Middle East.

@swanson01john You do know we had to pay back the Marshall help right?

Yes, we are grateful for the help the British, Canadians, Polish and Americans for liberating us. Do know tho, that it was NOT the USA whom liberated Europe in WW2. It had joined in late and did not supply the greatest amount of troops of everyone. The country to help europe the most was Russia. They've sacrificed more than anyone in this war. Funny how communism helped save Free Europe? ( yes for their own gain too that is)

@megatroll every empire goes down...

[megatroll]

I tried to be as patient as I was humanly possible.

But now I just can't take it anymore.

I seriously hope the AmeriKKKan empire will get completely destroyed one day. It is not possible nor beneficial trying to attack them, but the world should focus on destroying the US from the INSIDE.

We must unite and find ways to undermine them economically. Anandon the Dollar and everything contributive to their fascist military empire.

Let's hope we can achieve this before it's too late.

Peace

All to SUPRESS freedom and rights of ALL human beings, including Americans.... that is his/their goal.

[RonnieNolanRaharjo]

So, what's so different about the old strategy and the new strategy anyway? It still reads "Imperial Overreach".

[donesco40]

misleading title, no beneifts being stripped

[21boxhead]

@nveeneps7 CNN Fox news is nothing but American propaganda 

[21boxhead]

@lTriix Mc Cain would been the worst

[21boxhead]

@WGutjens Odious debt THEY AINT PAYING WHO GOING TO STOP THEM? 

[IndiaSergeant]

The first thing most young troops figure out when they get in the military in these times, is that they have to get out. My opinion is that right now the regular US military is comprised of obedient bullet catchers who are afraid to make decisions. Leadership and rank go to the loudest screamer.

[belaltabla]

@nveeneps7 better than the american one atleast..

[nveeneps7]

this news channel is nothing but the russian propaganda

[yazidE020991]

in history when you cut army budget signie the country is in degradation ,god damn america

[Avengedfrk]

i think u all get the point. of course there is always going to be a stronger country but even the strongest of countries can fall. this is not what the government thinks by the way. its what i have read by citizens of their own countries over the past 3 years. if this war goes down ( WWIII) there is no gaurantee that anybody including me will still be standing when this is over. im tired of the blood shed.

[Avengedfrk]

china has already proven the fact that they can reach american soil without being detected. the iranians believe that they could take on america with no problem so it seems. i think without china and russia on their side they dont have a chance but it would be alot worse than iraq and afganistan. china and russia are stuck so far up thier own asses that they think they are untouchable by the us.

[Avengedfrk]

i like knowing that people accually believe that their own countries military is far more supperior than any other country. alot of americans believe that they would survive if china and russia both attacked the us at the same time. they also believe they could wipe iran off the face of the map in 10 minutes or so and without nukes that would be impossible. i believe any american who crave the blood of an iranian should be the ones over there getting shot at when all of this goes down

[xDead27Eyex]

@WGutjens When did i say its okay to kill one million Iraqis?

[WGutjens]

@xDead27Eyex You honestly have no brains at all do you? XD Have you ever had an education at all?

If you were capable of reading, you would've read that i love american people, european people, asian people etc etc. If you were capable of reading you'd see that i hate the government of the USA, not it's people. XD

I'm not the one being hypocrite. Since i'm clear to what i hate and what not. You're the one being hypocrit by saying it's okay to kill 1M iraqi's but not ok to kill 3000 americans

[realismYHF1]

@UvbeenFooledagain and you really think Hilary CVlintons agenda would have been different from Obama's? Even though they are in the same party and it's clear they do not have a free hand. Have you seen Hilary Clinton voting against any of Obama's policies to date?

What is your real grievance with Obama? It's not Obama who would have asked for Google to be biased if they were. Clintons policies were actually worse than Obama's Obama was against but Hilary Clinton was for war.

[thedoaba]

New weapon against russia n china. Lolzzz

[xDead27Eyex]

@WGutjens How the fuck do i value the life of an american higher tan a Iraqi? In which comment have i said that? Why are you making up stuff. We never argued on The Iraq War. We only argued about who's America's enemy's. You say i'm a Pro-War but i never said i supported a War. You said i'm like Hitler, but i never threatened to kill anybody. But you on the other hand said you wanna kill Americans. I'm done talk to you. Enjoy life hating America and enjoying our entertainment,Hypocrite

[WGutjens]

@xDead27Eyex You're either a troll or INCREDIBLE dumb

If you were able to read, you'd know my response to this since it has been the same for the past coments

If you like to think that i want to kill americans then fine, but i've explained thousands of times that's not the case. I merely value the life of an american the same as the life of an iraqi

Apperantly you're someone like Mao, Stalin, Hitler who wants to gas people like they did to the jews. Since you love killing 1M iraqi's

HEIL YOU

[UvbeenFooledagain]

Ha , Google did everything it could to get Obama elected . a search for Hillary Clinton could not be found , I wrote thinking they lost there mind but not so . I was given a link , then did a search again , before her site came up on page 6 there were lists of horrible fake sites . Hillary is a Cunt , man the youth have no clue , some do some were fooled . This makes LBJ look tame but LBJ did what is right for his Country ,But "they" Killed RFK . This has all become a nightmare again.

[xDead27Eyex]

@WGutjens If your anti-war why do you wanna kill Americans??

[WGutjens]

@xDead27Eyex I'm the one who's anti war, you're the one who's pro war. I'm the one who prefers peace, you're the one who prefers war. I'm the one that think 1 american life is not worth 1,000,000 iraqi's, you're the one who think 1,000,000 iraqi's should die to save 1 american life.

Have you ever thought of that? That means to save 312 americans, you'd have to kill 312,000,000 people? That's the same amount of citizens of the USA.

You're insane if you think that sir

[WGutjens]

@xDead27Eyex You're the one whom values the lives of americans higher than lives of other people. You're the one saying that Americans are Ubermenschen ( superman people ). You know who else said that and thought that? Adolf Hitler. You're a TRUE nazi if you believe that americans are worth more than other people.

Have you been reading Mein Kampf? Or been listening too much to Bush? Since both preach the same ubermensch feelings.

So yes, i don't care about race or nationality, unlike you sir.
