Being prepared for a conflict means keeping serviceable the old ships, especially carriers. Currently there are six oil fueled platforms in mothballs, but ready to spring to service if needed. Then Obama found them.
Since the start of 2014, the Obama Administration has been actually rushing these conventional-fueled ships to Brownsville, Texas, to be scrapped. Four of these ships, USS Forrestal (CV 59), USS Saratoga (CV 60), USS Ranger (CV 61), and USS Constellation (CV 64) have been towed to Brownsville, and a fifth, USS Independence (CV 62), is slated to join them.
That is bad enough, but a sixth carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN 65), was also slated for the scrap yard, and the Obama Administration has already begun that task, even as Russia and China have become more aggressive. How Obama guts the navy is on the next page:
That’s why we need Trump who is wanting to build a bigger and better Military, if we can just hold out till then, God Bless America.
i have no love for obama but you people have no idea what you are talking about.
Obama thinks that if we have no army no one will attack us, like taking guns away from law abiding citizens will stop criminals from using guns
Way to go liberals
Do not let him weaken us further.
He needs the money for all his social programs, food stamps, Obamacare, etc.
He believes if we, as a nation, is not armed, no one will attack us. Same belief he has for guns, if we take them all from law abiding citizens, the ciminals will just give up on crime.
I think most of the politics in Washington has been promised some high seat that they will keep for as long as they do what Obama wants this country is in a very bad place right now, Obama is the third antichrist, and we have got to stand up and get him out of the white house maybe even out of the United States, this is war right now, we’re being invaded right now by Muslims in great numbers, our military is being tore down to the bare bone, wake up people wake up.
Funny thing about our service people…..they take an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. That oath does not have a expiration date. He can do whatever he wants, but our service people will still honor their oath.
Get him the hell out of there any way we can!!!
Wright…..not enough votes in Senate to impeach Obozo……
