What's the MISSION in Afgan? Isn't there a better war lord than Karzai?

Cut the entire Federal Budget, by 30% across the board (NOW not ten years down the road, that is how we are in the situation we are in now) excluding two items Defense, which is defined in the Constitution and Social Security (which, for me, is NOT an entitlement program) which both Parties have used for the past 40 years as their "slush" fund to finance unpopular programs or agendas, use the taxes raised by actually putting people back to work to repay those funds.

Are you moving active elements from those bases that you have identified for BRAC? If not, why not?

Don't you think that keeping combat brigades in Europe and Korea is still wasteful?

How much administrative support is being cut as part of the brigade reduction? You could start with cutting the entire civilian Army staff which DoD/OSD staffs are already duplicating. There is also no need for administrative HQs such as FORSCOM as most of the planning is now done by Joint Commands.

My question is: As a retired USN Senior Chief Petty Officer, why did my pension go down $70.00 per month even though President Obama falsely claims he hasn't raised taxes.

How after your service and the service provided by others in the military who have given their time and sometimes life for our nation be treated like this. It's a disgrace that we should all tell our representatives to make a priority. Another reason we are the laughing stock of the world. Let's get serious about priorities now!

While you're investigating our Marines, how about looking at Karzai's cartel? I believe you have enough criminal evidence for Holder to bring him to New York for accountability.

You are sending Americans into harms way to capture Taliban commanders (got some last night). Then, negotiating for their release to Karzai of the Afghan cartel.
Karzai will release them enabling them fight us again. Although they are fighting the US, the Vice President says they are not the enemy. Do you have a clue?

Where's consistency? US takes out Noriega for criminal activities. US installs and supports Karzai.

Are you involved in declaring the Fort Hood shootings to be simply a hostile workplace situation? I look to you to call it what it is, "Murder". Isn't it time for common sense to overshadow political correctness? Families of the murdered soldiers deserve your honesty. Soldiers that you are sending into harms way deserve better than hostile workplaces!
