The U.S. Army is planning to cut more than 40,000 troops over the next two years, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News Tuesday.

General Martin Dempsey announced at a Senate Armed Services Committee Hearing Tuesday that dwindling resources was a major factor in the decision to cut the number of active troops from 490,000 to 450,000.

Obama "We have no complete strategy against ISIS."

Cutting 40,000 troops? Why not keep them around for another year or two, yah know, just in case the next President wants to use them?

Idiots doing idiot things because they are idiots.

DC is full of them. Nothing has changed since I was stationed there in the '70s except the faces, and not even all of those.
