Coming US Troop Cuts

The US Army and Marines have 766,000 ground troops with about 110,000 points of spears. If the Pentagon reduces 10% of Army and Marine forces the US forces will decrease to 689,000 with 99,000 warriors. That's about 25 combat brigades, a loss of 3 BCTs. Not a terrible loss.

Real savings will come when the gigantic civilian corps at DOD is reduced. Let's hope these non-warriors see the biggest and quickest force reductions.

Idiots at The Independent in the UK prattled...

"President plans to cut half a million troops and says US can't afford to wage two wars at once"

Rupert Cornwell is a fucking idiot! A half a million cut would eliminate the entire US Army.
