I suspect that the Dem's will go back to using the military as a jobs program for the untrained unemployable youth of this country. Perhaps the draft will be coming back. Our soldiers will only be allowed sticks and rocks for equipment as some congress-critters will also choose to cut the Defense Budget.

Some critics, citing the increase in military spending since Sept. 11, 2001, say it would be much easier to cut military spending than programs like Social Security and Medicare at a time when most people’s retirement savings are dwindling because of the financial crisis. Representative Barney Frank, the Massachusetts Democrat who is chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has raised the idea of reducing military spending by one-quarter.
