(The Blaze/AP) The Air Force says it will cut the service by nearly 10,000 active, National Guard and Reserve airmen next year as part of a broad move toward force reduction and shifting of capabilities around the country to be better prepared for wars of the future.
Air Force leaders say more than half the personnel cuts, and much of the aircraft and other equipment moves, will be borne by the Air Guard.
The Air Force says the service cannot absorb any further cuts in active duty forces because that would limit their ability to respond to multiple crises. National Guard leaders are criticizing the cuts.
About 3,900 active duty, 5,100 Air Guard and 900 Air Force reserves would be cut in the next year.

Report Post »If when we come under attack the Air Force will be the first line of defense against a ground or air invasion Navy moves to slowly but can use their Carriers if in the area. We must be prepared on all borders. Someone is not thinking right the Army can only defend our borders or be used as a invasionary force but must rely on the Air Force.
As for the soon to be unemployed soldiers either keep them employed as Border agents, TSA and Port Authority workers and get rid of the corrupt, overpaid and union workers. A soldier is more cost efficient than paying outrageous salaries to the inefficients we employ now.

Posted on February 4, 2012 at 9:54pmOver the years they have replaced GI’s with civilian contractors. Iraq was loaded with civilian contractors doing mundane GI jobs but being paid more in a week than a GI made in a couple of months. I went up to visit West Point a couple of years ago and ran into civilian guards at the gate. I said to them “what happened to the MP’s? They told me that after 9/11 the MPs were replaced by civilian contractors !! So folks this is just another way of getting the civilian contractors in to take over more of the Air Forces jobs and over time pick up a lot more of our tax dollars…….You know if they REALLY were interested in saving money they would look to all the armed services and military contracting companies and get some IG’s (Inspector Generals) and cut fraud and waste !!! Because take it from this writer who was in Procurement in the Armed Services and then later worked for a military contractor, the mindset of so many people in those arenas always was “It’s not my money, who cares how it is spent and/or wasted”

Report Post »Governors can represent their states with backup by Lt. Governors. The other reps can be replaced by members at local levels & departments can be consolidated & eliminated. Equipment contracts need to be scrutinized & re-structured. If government at all levels was reduced to what is necessary & budgets were trimmed & the general fund was managed by investors who know how to make money grow & can be trusted to leave the increasing funds alone, then we could keep all those military personnel whom I consider to be more useful & necessary than our government reps. I’d much rather have the Air Force & Reservists in this country than a bunch of blowhards who have sold us down the river to foreign interests or pocketed our tax dollars through convoluted thievery. It’s a real simple matter of useful on the one hand & completely useless & a burden on the other. Those who serve us… Or those who serve only themselves. It’s not a tough choice, is it?

Normally, Republicans would put up a united front against cuts in military spending. But maybe not this time. One old school isolationist has a national stage, passionate supporters, and several more debates to argue the case for less spending.
If you were President Obama, announcing cuts when one prominent [republican?] is likely to back you, looks like good timing.

I consider the economy and our system of government to be the absolute biggest problem today. Ron Paul is rock solid on the economic issues and should be given applause because he has completely refuted all the arguements for big government and shadow government (such as the federal reserve). Someone like you (you do believe in a smaller federal government, dont you?) should be happy he is still around talking about these issues.
Don’t like his foreign policy? Thats fine – then your candidate should have no problem debating him on the issue. If you are correct, there is no reason to fear his ideas.
