Republican economics is hurting the US military capabilities. They can not blame this on Obama. General Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, told a panel in the House of Representatives that severe, across-the-board budget cuts would force the Army to shrink to 420,000 active-duty soldiers, a level at which it could no longer execute the presidents national defense strategy. President Barack Obamas strategy issued in 2012 calls for a U.S. military strong enough to prevail in one major war while having the ability to deter an aggressor in a second conflict. That was a shift from the earlier longtime goal of being able to win two separate wars simultaneously. news.yahoo/deep-budget-cuts-may-erode-u-army-ability-234041340--business.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory
