Yeah no kidding. Dad and I were actually shouting at the TV over that one. I'm not really a fan of our military as it stands, but I respect what it's job is, and I feel ashamed of how our current administration has trampled all over it.
It isn't that he necessarily downsized it by 300,000 either, a lot of it has to do with people scrambling to get out of the army, and not too many people scrambling to get in.
