The Navy cancelled another highly successful program, the Hellfire Missile, at the end of 2015.
But Obama isn’t satisfied with eliminating those to elements of America’s naval superiority, now we see he’s letting our entire fleet deteriorate.
America’s naval power is well below the level needed to defend this country.
Obama’s determination to reduce our military to rubble prompted even the Washington Times to state that our President has already ‘decimated’ our military to the point where we can’t properly defend ourselves.

“We are concerned that if the Department of the Navy is required to continue to respond to crisis after crisis without the funding needed to build new ships, repair old equipment and provide routine maintenance to existing equipment, the nation risks permanent damage to our national defense and negative impacts on the domestic and international economies that rely on the safety and security that U.S. sea power provides,” said the letter sent by the service advocacy group Navy Now.
“As retired admirals and generals who have had the privilege of leading our military forces, we write to express our concern that the United States Department of the Navy is underfunded and overextended, placing our national defense, our Sailors and Marines, and the stability of the global economy at risk,” they added in the letter provided to Secrets.
The retired admirals included vice chiefs of staffs, regional commanders and aircraft group commanders. Retired Marine Corps Commandant James Conway also signed the letter posted below.
Among their demands:
— Build and maintain 306 ships (an increase from 289 today).
— Continue to provide vital combat support to our forces wherever they may be engaged.
— Update and maintain existing aircraft, invest in new designs and continue with critical modernization programs.
— Restore the fleet maintenance schedule that has been badly disrupted by 13 years of war combined with severe reductions in the number of ships.
— Replenish weapons inventories to required levels.
— Invest in the next-generation capabilities necessary for the Navy to remain relevant in the future.

Try him for treason, Impeachment isn’t good enough!
Be ready to fight for your lives.
Hail, the first? Truly treasonous president. What is wrong with you Americans? Are you all blind to what he is doing, and has done, to your ability to defend your country? You let ONE man do this much damage to national security?
Dispicable.
Also, sadly true…but he was aided and abetted by ignorant , racist voters.
Obama is setting USA up to be overtaken/overthrown by these muslims. He gets to stay in as their Mahdi ( savior ). I pray that God has not given us over to these foreign invaders. But, throughout Noble scripture, the nations that forgot the God of Abraham ( not allah) ?
He turned them over to a foreign nation. Who knows, we may be facing the coming TRIBULATION spoke of in the REVELATION, the last book in the Holy Bible. Saints, it’s time pray!
Arrest Obama.
No problem! Trump will re-commission them !
Oh boo hoo. At this point, our Navy is largely a cruise missile delivery platform and a transportation module. We have bases around the world that perform just about all the other functions. The US performs all the roles of world policeman without a giant navy. Of course an Admiral would say that the cuts impact safety, They impact his job and what he sees as important. Not the reality of the situation. The US spends too much on defense already,
Fearmongering that the big bad terrorist will get you without this big expensive navy ship is laughable.
