However, this is the reason I hate politicians. Our defense spending was cut during the Clinton administration. Those 8 years brought us from Desert Storm into a low period where we became a peace-time force again. It was the same time period where we pulled CIA agents from the middle east, and they they wondered why come 2003 we didn't have good intelligence on Iraq? We began pulling out intelligence in '94. This dude's in a great position to stand up now and point fingers and talk the talk saying "We need change!" Where was he during the 8 years Clinton was in office? Probably sitting in his chair doing nothing.

If he honestly cared, he would've done something years ago. It's like when I hear Hilary say our troops aren't getting enough funding. Hello dumbass, you're on the Senate armed forces committee, do something about it. Politicians only get involved when it becomes popular to be involved.

I hate them all equally.
