This is a possible thing Trump should do then Mattis and Pentagon should reduce the forces of US armed forces. I Think Trump though about this thing. Maybe his next plan of view in White house. Ronstar saying that military could attack No. Korea and I knows that is facts if general Mattis and Pentagon goes over current reserve force and for 1 million man. 300.000 in military action against not nuclear weapon in No. Korea they must promises therefore we can nukes attack back theres nukes attack against US troops. And I want maybe a war against No. Korean proffesional troops, not the 4 million reserve force with 300.000 US reserve troops and Trump said a war against No. Korea infact. I thinker me smaller proffesionals by Trump / Mattis reduce the armed forces to over Japanese sum I maybe knows with Trump and Mattis could intro the thing to reality. If war or not war against No. Korea USA reduce smaller proffesional in USA. Better around 1925 sum Before reduce up in America in the war begun but this month Mattis / Pentagon and with Trump want to be this will reduce down with proffesional armed forces then goes upod with reserve force are just Trump's idea. No wall builds Trump's. Excellent plans from Trump then Mattis take Trump's views to Pentagon and the armed forces goes down in percent by Money in percent in National debt smaller military budjet and I likes very much if Trump get his view to facts. I keeping war sum for myself. Declare only reserves of 1 million man.
New budjet should be 100/160 billion dollar with nuclear weapons in deal. 8600 or 9000 air crafts in the Air Force.
I know 260.000 proffesional sum but now history. I Think today's form 1.294.000 or 1.306.000 man. I Think also today's reserve forces 811.000 man. 65 billion for 260.000 and 630 billion tomorrows. Trump want up load nuclear weapons from 6000 with dubble size. 2000 more than Russia.
US troops are future 240.000 in reserve force in Alaska and 335.000 man in National Guard and down of today's to following: 420.000 in Army. 182.000 in Marine Corps. 300.000 in Navy. 902.000 in proffesional sum. It will cost US defence 400 billion dollar with nukes.
I think it's the opposite. The US needs to start funding its troops No, not good at all. Military needs to be well funded and balanced. Look at everything the Air Force runs... it's not just Aircraft. Look at everything the Coast Guard does. I am in favor of upgrading and funding our military, not reducing it in size or in capability.
Just look at Ole's thread on Sweden's military. He seriously doesn't understand modern warfare especially the necessity for air power.
If you think Marines fly Raptors, you just proved the other poster's point about you not understanding the military. Raptors can't land on ships, they can't take off or land vertically, and they're strictly Air Force aircraft.
USA should have over dubble size over British proffesional when they goes up in forces. In Army 420.000 or 460.000 today's form. Two defence branches gone. Air Force ara to big in strenght.
Given the Obama administration's mindless destabilization policy we indeed do need to ramp up and modernize. We also need to return to realistic warfare. Anybody here realize the Russians haven't lost a single soldier in the ME yet? That's because they aren't stupid enough to toss out their own troops as bait, and they go in and kill everything that's moving and don't care what their enemies, the UN, or anybody else thinks. They see a training camp or a base, whatever, they don't care if the animals have forced children, women, or camels into them as hostages, they just wipe it out, period. No need for 'boots on the ground' when you can wipe it all out from 30,000 feet.
No. No one here realized that except you. Because its bullshit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Armed_Forces_casualties_in_Syria
IS have already winning 1 of 3 part of whole country. Kurdistan, ISIS and South Iraq. Three winning market.
All fake news sources in the footnotes. In any case the wiki pages show about 24 due to hostile fire since Sept. 2015, less than two a month.
They've lost their biggest supplier, Obama's CIA, ferrying aid form the Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to the ISIS thugs via Turkey. Obama wanted to fund the worst of the worst on the Sunni side in order to win international support for the Shi'ites, his beloved Iran. When you look at his policies, they overwhelming favor Shi'ites; that's because Obama was a Shi'ite and wanted to strengthen Iran's power in the region. The Russians are blasting them into oblivion, with no casualties because they went in to win, while Obama only wanted to maximize the number of dead American soldiers in any policy he endorsed, while making sure there were no long term victories and terrorist gangs remained intact.
America's enemies surely look forward, with great expectations, to the continuing decline of America's military strength and preparedness. Maybe Mexico or Canada can become America's military protector?
