Uncle, It is time to end the role of policeman of the world. It is not appreciated and I do not think some of the problems are solvable by US intervention. As for an expansionist China in Asia - hey - not our problem. That region is very prosperous. Let them deal with China. The US is broke. Until we fix our domestic fiscal situation we are empowering the greatest enemy our nation has - financial bankruptcy. We need an elite defensive force. We need to make that force is well trained well equipped - and based in the US. Bob

Pretty soon, all that will be left for the US to do is just drop some bombs on some of the world's troublemakers....Dam* the torpedos, full speed ahead. No Soldiers, Not much Navy....what's left? Nukes...maybe a few if Obama can stop from giving them to Russia and China... No incoming missile screens... No EMP protection.....

Chief of Staff of the Army from Op For by Townie 76 While Secretary Gates announcement that General Marty Dempsey will be the next CSA; I have to wonder what are the second and third order effects. Not noticed in the stunning announcements from Secretary Gates is that all the components in Europe will be reduced from being commanded by 4 Stars and instead commanded by Lieutenant Generals. The first to see this will be United States Army Europe, whose four star commander, General Carter Ham was recently confirmed as the next Africa Command Commander. Also missed by many was Secretary Gates willingness to consider moving Africa Command from Stuttgart Germany to the Tidewater area of Virginia.
