Under Obama, Our Military’s Strength Has Significantly Decreased
Most neglected of all U.S. national security elements are our strategic forces.
The Army's manpower is down 10 percent since President Obama took office. Our naval capabilities are aging and inadequate to meet our national security demands. The Air Force fields the smallest and oldest force of combat aircraft in its history. The Marines are running only about two-thirds the number of battalions they have historically needed to meet day-to-day operational demands.
Will the next POTUS be able to recover from this?

I think we saw the same sort of thing following WWII. With the move to cut the budget, things like defense projects and personel are always impacted first it seems. I do hope that whoever takes the seat next does something to ensure that we are in a position to take the appropriate action(s) when needed.

And again ... POTUS don't set the size or the budget!

The US Military is way over-sized. It ought to be cut.
There is no Nazi Germany. There is no USSR.
But who did the Sequestration of funds? That was the GOP, right?
