You don't stay a superpower by gutting the military. There are still many threats to the security of this nation and its allies. Iraq, Iran, N. Korea to name a few. Sure we can kick their asses, if we stay prepared to do so. JLA

Do you work on machines that are 40 or 50 years old? I wonder if the janitor has equipment that old that he has to clean at the hospital. Some servicemembers routinely operate equipment that is much older than I am. We are still ahead technologically, but without replenishment, it won't be long before others catch up.knc
