Since the world loves the U.S., why not cut the military down to nothing?

 From Foreign Policy,  we have this report.  It describes Obama's new military policy as one of  "pivot and hedge."  Of course,  he has no idea just how much danger he is creating for our country.  In the picture, below,  he addresses the "yes men" in his military,  talking about his new policy,  implying an increased viability for the present army and heightened protections for this country,  all in the face of severe troop reductions,  a much smaller armed force,  and a strategy that takes us away from the Middle East and into  the Pacific Theater,  where,  apparently,  trade is being threatened (wow, one of my best run-on efforts !!!).  How many times have I told my readers ,  "Before this stranger in our White House is finished,  he is going to get us all killed."? 

" On Thursday, President Barack Obama and his top defense advisors unveiled new strategic guidance to direct the U.S. military as it transitions from a decade of grueling ground wars to an era of new challenges, including a rising China and looming budget cuts. The administration has adopted what is best characterized as a "pivot but hedge" strategy: The United States will pivot to the Asia-Pacific but hedge against unexpected threats elsewhere, particularly in the greater Middle East. This new guidance makes good sense in today's world, but it assumes that the Pentagon will absorb only $487 billion in budget cuts over the next decade. If far deeper cuts occur, as required by sequestration, the Department of Defense will not have the resources to execute the guidance. "Pivot but hedge" will die in its crib. . . ."   read the full report at Foreign Policy.
