Nah. Women are like revolvers.
Nice to look at, but worthless in a fight.

After 12 years of grinding the military down and the thorough neglect the last 8 years. More defense spending is welcome. POTUS will get more bang for the bucks.

No worries. I just wanted an excuse to post hot armed israeli chicks in bikinis.

He's using what is possibly the best example I could think of for having a capable reserve component with a small cadre of professionals and using it for the exact opposite. It's amazing really.
You or somebody said to move the Army and Air Force into the Reserves.
Which is not what you are saying now.
And yes, I was using the best example of why reservists couldn't possibly handle that type of planning.
Geez.

Operation OVERLORD was not planned by militias.
It was planned by career men but executed by school coaches, factory workers, draftees out high school, hell lawyers, docs, some criminals, and everyone else. The war in total, including in the Navy FWIW, was mostly staffed by citizen-servicemen.
Halsey's staff was mostly a lot of Wall Street stock brokers - reserve naval officers.
Tell me something I don't know

Marine pilot killed in Iraq buried in Swampscott
The Associated Press
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. — The first servicewoman from Massachusetts to be killed in the Iraq war was buried with full military honors Monday, less than two weeks after the helicopter she was piloting in Iraq was shot down.
Marine Capt. Jennifer Harris, 28, was taken by horse-drawn hearse to a funeral service at St. John the Evangelist Church. Bagpipes played as Marines in full uniform carried her casket inside.
The eulogy was delivered by Lt. Rose Gascinski, who roomed with Harris at the Naval Academy before Harris, of Swampscott, graduated in 2000. Harris then choose the difficult path of training as a Marine officer.
Speaking before the service, Gascinski said Harris earned the nickname “Dove” at the Naval Academy for her calm demeanor in the face of adversity. Gascinski said those qualities would have served Harris well when the Marine CH-46 troop transport she was piloting went down northwest of Baghdad on Feb. 7.
“I was thinking that if I wanted anybody to be my pilot in that moment, I would want it to be her,” Gascinski said.
All seven people on board the helicopter were killed. An al-Qaida-linked Sunni group claimed responsibility for shooting down the helicopter, and aired a video.
Harris’ body arrived home Thursday, accompanied by a Marine escort, Maj. Christopher Aaby, her fiance.
Harris, a graduate of Swampscott High School, had been on her third tour in Iraq. She was scheduled to return home the week after she was killed.
Harris was the second Swampscott resident to be killed in Iraq in the last six months. Army Spc. Jared Raymond, 20, of Swampscott, was killed when the tank he was driving was hit by a roadside bomb on Sept. 19 in Taji, Iraq."

Whatshisname said put the Army into the Reserves. A statement made without qualification.
Do you agree with that?

I am sorry for addressing the issue as presented.
It is pathetic to be dancing around and claiming something not argued.

I support cutting WASTEFUL spending, which makes up almost 30% (if not more) of what the military spends money on.

I am the grown son of a retired Air Force bomber pilot of WW2, Korea, and early Viet Nam. My dad often said the leftover buildings, bases, etc. of WW2 could all be cut. All a waste now from the Pacific and Western Europe, England, etc. It's all the Middle East now, not Japan, Phillipines, Guam, and Hawaii. We maintain a lot leftover from WW2.
