Can we defend ourselves with less tha 50% operation ability?
Have you done anything about it?
Have you written to the congress that is to blame? Most likely not. Just like the rest of not in my backyard, I am not or need to be involved.
Hence the do nothing administration starting with Obama and the steady decline of our military supported by the do nothing we the people.......3rd world here we come.
As has been said before by differing folks. The enemy that will exact it's biggest toll on the standing and strength of America is and will be from within.

I think the DoD got enough...
The Obama Administration's fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget requests a total of $560.4 billion in funding for the Department of Defense (DoD), including $495.6 billion in the base discretionary budget, $6.2 billion in mandatory funding, and $58.6 billion in supplemental funding for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO).
They've outsourced and contracted out WAY too much, that's where a lot of the budget goes. They pay civilians obscene money to deploy. War is a money maker.
If they can't afford to fly, it's their own fault. Bring the troops home.
