What does the future of our Military Services look like for the next four years under the current leadership?

I truly dont know the answer to this question with the current administration. It's almost like when Ronald Reagan was elected. Reagan took care of the military with the biggest pay raise I had ever saw while I was on active duty in the 80's. I think that this President will do the same because with tension as it is in the Middle East and other Asiatic countries, the Korean peninsular and all he will need a ready and updated military to accomplish whatever goals he has in mind. As far as progressive holding up confirmations of key personnel, I am glad they are because this country needs folks that will uphold the high traditions and maintain the friendly allies that are already in place. I wouldnt call them problem children just people who are trying to make sure the people in the cabinet are true American patriots and not in this for their own personal financial stability.

PO1 Ron Clark - What you posted on paper looks good and I do hope that is the reason. But the progressives promised to hold up and fight the President anyway they could. It will be done with the court system, just look at the latest ruling on refugees from the 9th. Even the illegals say they will jam the court system. And when did illegals in our country have Constitutions rights and the one that want to come in. Our Constitution does not say you have the right to come in as a illegal. The progressives are helping to destroy us from within. They allow rioters to steal and burn, block highways, destroy property and a lot is funded by Soros. Our military readiness is very poor. We do need patriots but I think those days are gone forever Everyone in DC is out for #1, not you or I. Just my 2 cents worth.

MSgt John McGowan - Face it MSgt McGowan, the people we have elected in the Senate and Congress has done absolutely NOTHING but obstruct, for at least eight years that we know of, you know it and I know it, if you dont want to face that and just concentrate on what's happening with this administration then you could be some of the problem also. Your eyes, ears and mind are closed to they way of your party and I know which one it is. You guys want to roll out elements in the constitution only when it suits your fancy and benefits you. You dont have a problem with all the lies that have come out with this administration, You didnt have a problem with refugees coming in from Vietnam, you didnt have a problem with refugees coming in from Europe, but you did have a problem with the last administration, and you had a problem because you perceived the other candidate lied about something that you dont have proof of. I do not think that patriotism is gone by the wayside one reason is I am teaching even my grandchildren to have a mind and read and investigate for themselves. As far as the riots and burning and looting, to me the people who are doing that have no political agenda for helping only to cause chaos and disaster. The real protestors, protest peaceful. Sometimes for certain members in society, this is the only true way to bring attention to something that has probably plagued them all of their life.

PO1 I know how my party is that you probably guessed right. They just like the other, not worth a damn. They do not care about you, me or anyone else except the next election. As far as refugees coming in I believe we are much weaker now and have a lot more debt. The people that I guess you are willing to be so free about letting in is making fine citizens in Europe arn'the they? I used to be a Democrat but when the blue dog Democrats left the party I did also. And the Constitution is the Constitution no matter what. The law of the land. Both party'supplies are pretty bad now with only a few good Menard women upthere. I do see more trouble headed our way because you can't tell a progressive anything and you know that's true. Some groups have been pretty tough on people that doesn't agree with them and I fear that someday they will go to pull the wrong person out of a car and shooting will begin. You or correct, I didn't like the last President but I can name you several in my life time I didn't like. I just do not like the refugees coming in now and I think it is a mistake. But both houses of our leaders are seriously lacking in listening to the public. And I am not looking for a passing contest. We do not always have to agree and I am not big on name calling.

Agreed

I hope and pray they will get the tools they need. Just read the needs of the military now. Refugees, waste, unpaired taxes and just plain old stealing is taking billions of dollars each year. It does appear that nobody takes responsibility in Washington anymore. We send it, they spend it.

MSgt John McGowan - and it isn't theirs to spend!!! #draintheswamp

from 1974-2015 seen many administrations and the worst mistake is that we fall into a blame game of liberals vs conservatives while our enemies figure out how to work past their differences to wage war on us. Cyber is big now because the enemy has learned to use it well, we need to open the cyber field to those in wheel chairs, because nature gives them a better brain to compensate for their lack of body. Meaning is that we need to see how we all can cooperate to do a better job.

CPT Pedro Meza - yep just that. Warriors are not always PT driven in this day n age. Build em a basement and let em loose into the dark

Maj Marty Hogan - Bring back the Specialist Rank, recruit the handicap for cyber and put a warrant in charge.

CPT Pedro Meza - If they were to decide to use our disabled veterans to do cyber, I would love to be trained and participate. It would give me a way to serve my country again.
