US Army is Falling Apart and Washington is to Blame

US ARMY IS FALLING APART & WASHINGTON IS TO BLAME

Robert H. Scales - Retired Major General

For the third time in the post-WWII era the US military is falling apart and the main culprit is the "ungrateful, ahistorical and strategically tone-deaf leadership in Washington," warned Robert H. Scales, former US Army major general notorious for his call to "start killing Russians.."

In a recent opinion piece Scales condemned the Obama administration for cutting 40,000 soldiers, as well as jeopardizing the re-armament and proper training of the military.

 

"Defense Secretary Ashton Carter recently said that the Army will not have enough money for most soldiers to train above the squad level this year. Soldiers need to fight with new weapons; in the past four years, the Army has canceled 20 major programs, postponed 125 and restructured 124. The Army will not replace its Reagan-era tanks, infantry carriers, artillery and aircraft for at least a generation," he asserted.

This trend will be reinforced if the budget spending cuts remain in place, he wrote for the Washington Post. In the next two years, the size of the military is likely to be reduced by additional 40,000 soldiers.

All the worrying signs that the US Army is not in its best shape are already there: sergeants and young officers leave the armed forces while suicide, family abuse, alcohol and drug abuse are on the rise, the retired major general added.

"To be sure, the nation always reduces its military as wars wind down. Other services suffer reductions and shortages but only the Army breaks. 

Someone please tell those of us who served why the service that does virtually all the dying and killing in war is the one least rewarded," Scales pointed out.
 

Goodbye, Superpower Status? Obama Is 'Most Culpable' in US Military Decline

A number of high-ranking military officials and politicians slammed Obama for the end-strength reduction. They claim that the sequestration-sized armed forces would not be able to protect the United States and tackle challenges elsewhere.

"The US Army is falling apart"?!  No joke. The reduction of the 'US' military began years ago - ON PURPOSE - as part of 'the plan' to destroy this nation.  Our soldiers, sailors and marines are deployed to every corner of the planet to get them OUT of the nation to eliminate the military's ability to defend America during the soon coming attacks. Also realize our (former) military has been deployed to protect, defend and promote the illegal criminal activities of the Nazi Bush cartel - guarding poppy fields, drug and gun running, slavery, following orders to maim and kill innocents, etc.  This is why so many Ameriecan military are reported as 'committing suicide' or having 'family problems' or suffering from PTSD.  Many of our soldiers are literally murdered - shot by 'friendly fire' - under orders so they cannot reveal the truth of what they are being ordered to do. Recall that the puppet masters who call the shots behind bozo the puppet ordered the release of several top level brass who were prone to be LOYAL to America rather than follow orders to destroy America. The nation is OCCUPIED by soldiers from other nations.  Dressed in blue UN 'peace keeping' (HUH?) berets, foreigners are here to carry out UN (the NWO Nazi UN - New York City/London and Vatican) orders for martial law, roundups, gun confiscations, food confiscations, forced chipping of humans, and forced trips of Americans to the death camps, etc.  NOW does America understand what the REAL agenda is all about and WHY the US military is 'falling apart'?
