Seems to me that in the very early 1990's, the Military was primed to handle one major conflict in the world, and with help from allies, a second one....

BUT then didn't the Clinton Adm cut the Military budget by 30%...? Ships, arms, tanks, and numbers of people?


You are correct.

When Clinton took office we had 1,761,500 in uniform. He cut that by 400,000.

He also cut 200 of the Navy's 600 ships and 36% of USAF Aircraft.
