Slamming members of Congress as irresponsible, Panetta said lawmakers are willing to push the country off a fiscal cliff to damage their opposing political parties.
He said that if Congress doesn't pass a budget the Pentagon will have to absorb $46 billion in spending reductions in this fiscal year and will face a $35 billion shortfall in operating expenses. Mostly theatrical posturing to bash congress. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

This is just Obama playing chicken with the GOP. You can't tell me that there is not other stuff that could be cut. They are going to make a big deal about cutting "important" stuff, to make the crisis seem worst.

Bet those families are happy but the bigger story is its not just the carrier. No carrier goes out alone. An entire air wing and strike group is no longer pulling out. I would bet close to 10k people not deploying now.

They'll cut the OPTEMPO of the forward forces, support equipment, and pay/benefits, BUT they won't cut acquisition of high $$$ pet projects like the problem plagued F-35. Too many jobs at risk in some senators district if that were to happen. The jackasses on the hill NEVER give a shit about the troops in the field unless there's a photo op. involved that can help them get re-elected, then they're all waving the flag and sporting yellow ribbons.

Everything else the DoD is doing is just nice-to-have, at the end of the day, and its dependent upon our strategic deterrence posture. |
