US War Machine Downsizing?

mrspoonsi writes "BBC Reports: 'Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has unveiled plans to shrink the U.S. Army to its smallest size since before World War Two. Outlining his budget plan, the Pentagon chief proposed trimming the active-duty Army to between 440,000 and 450,000 personnel — from 520,000 currently. The U.S. currently spends more on defense than the combined total of the next 12 countries, as ranked by defense spending.'"

    hardly, not after that war mongering against Syria and even now providing arms to Al Qaeda affiliated rebels. What a liar Obama is, what a corporate bitch.
