When a Marine General speaks out, one would be wise to listen, and when a Marine warns the nation about our national security, one would be insane to not listen.
Luckily, many were listening when General John Paxton, who serves as assistant commandant of the Marine Corps, stated before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the branch might not be ready if they need to defend the country from a sudden threat. He further warned that the Marines could very well face high casualties and fail to stop possible enemies.
Speaking along with leaders from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, Paxton said the branch does not sufficient training and equipment to maintain the ability of servicemen to fight. He added that he is worried “about the capability and capacity [of the Marine Corps] to win a major fight.”
That such an assessment is being made at all should shock Americans, but that it’s being made by a high-ranking official of the Marines should shock them into action.

Of course, this creeping malaise within our armed forces is no surprise. Paxton is only the latest military leader to call attention to the weakening of the military. It’s part of a deliberately-planned policy of the Obama administration to degrade servicemen’s ability to mobilize and defend the US from attack:
“’All of our intelligence and communications battalions…would be unable to execute their full wartime mission requirements if called upon today,’ he said.
The aviation units are faring no better, Paxton said. Approximately 80 percent of Marine aviation units lack the amount of ready aircraft that they need for training and to respond to an emergency, he said.
Paxton was repeatedly questioned about the Marines’ ability to respond to contingencies after the high number of training accidents its aviation squadrons faced in the last year. The collision of two Marine Corps’ CH-53 Super Stallions off the coast of Hawaii in January raised questions whether budget cuts were leading to a higher number of pilot and crew deaths.
On Tuesday, Paxton said the service is looking at whether there is a connection.
‘We are concerned about an increasing number of aircraft mishaps and accidents,’ he said. ‘We’re looking to see if there’s a linear correlation. We know historically that if you don’t have the money and you don’t have the parts and you don’t have the maintenance, then you fly less. We call it ‘sets and reps’ – you need sets and repetitions to keep proficiency up there. So we truly believe if you fly less and maintain slower there’s a higher likelihood of accidents. So we’re worried.’”

OSLAMA HAS CUT THE MILIARTY BY TWO THRIDS HASNT SPENT ONE PENNY TO BULID NEW SHIPS
Thats because they are too busy training for a war here and spending their time worrying about how to confiscate private fire arms under a U.N rule… I am sorry but i do not feel anything for these upper brass Pentagon shits who would sit happily and let Obama destroy our military. Thats right, as long as we get our 50 billion dollar subs and 35 million dollar air planes who gives a$#%&!@*abut the grunts right?$#%&!@*boots, bad body armor, old rifles, non working sidearms, BDUs and ACUs that dont work.. the list goes on. Our Military has been destroyed from with in by political correctness and more lies and b******t than i can print here… In the end i have no respect for Pentagon Brass because they had every opportunity to stop Obama by having the Sgt At Arms arrest Obama for Treason and subversion but didnt because they are afraid they will loose their season pass to the golf course…Reap it.
