NO MORE TASK FORCE SMITHS By Col. Harry G. Summers Jr. legion.org Do you know what task force Smith was Ted? We are not there yet but we might be if we continue to cut military spending. Tim, I know what a T.F.Smith is and if that's the military's explanation for its current problems, then we are in serious do-do. Let me add to that....you are highly critical of any gov't spending that benefits the environment or people's living standards but you seem to be willing to accept carte blanche anything the military says. Sen. Proxmire, who was more then willing to point out pork, found some of his best pork [roast] among the doings of military spending. So I think maybe if the military used a very fine pencil, they may well come up with the savings that might allow us to have a first class military. With all the money spent on the military and with all the pushing Clinton did to get other gov'ts to help foot the bill, it galls me that the military continues to complain how short they are. We have enough planes and bombs and missiles and whatever to blow this planet up 3 times over......but the military still can't be first class. Tim, you can buy into but I will not. My reaction is the same as when welfare spending and welfare rolls continued to go up and up.....get a clue.....the pit has to have a bottom. ted
