Decaying of the mighty MArine Corps Air Forces
 

While the USA pays out billions to other nations and are quick to write a check to any special interest or minority group, continues to emascualte the military capability of America.

The following article....video and writing....paints a dismal picture of our once mighty Marine Air capability.
To be begging and canabalizing to keep a minimal force ready is truly discouraging and disgusting.

Stories like this are not carried by the politically led mainstream media.

Having been personally involved with the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, SC it is heart wrenching from a personal and patriotic point of view.

The current administration is derilict in it's duty to keep America prepared.

Since they do not care and are lame ducks they have no remorse, care, responsibility unless it affects them or their agenda directly.

And for those who will immediately jump on the source (Fox) just keep your peanut gallery opinion to yourself and for once try to focus on the subject at hand. Which some day could affect your survival.

Oh, I doubt it. They'll print as much as they need when the time comes.

The military industrial complex gets more than it's fair share. This is more propaganda than a real threat to our national security. Borrow more, so the military can protect us, from enemies we've created.

Personally knowing some of the folks responsible at MCAS Beaufort, SC I assure you the condition shown is not propoganda.

I do believe that this one is on the Congress not the President.

I remember the budget fight this was the only way out and now Congress wants to keep it up!

I assure you it IS propaganda/theater.

Are they out of money at MCAS B? It's quite possible. But the REASON is purely political for political purposes.

In addition to the above reality, some of the better informed who populate this site may also recall that the above is very similar to the shape " Slick Willie " left our military in when he skipped town with trucks full of goodies .
We had jets that could not fly due to a shortage of parts . Ships that were not mission ready and even nuclear subs that had to be idled for lack of maintenance funds .
So those of you who place your faith , beliefs and trust in HRC try just try to accept that the OPs statements are true .
And those who choose to believe that all will be well with the Queen in charge will be the first to scream when we are caught unprepared to deal with some major defense emergency . And no doubt they and their beloved CNN and MSNBC will be quick to blame it on GWB .

And the conspiracy...
 

theorist pulls their head out of their arse long enough to ignore reality yet again.

You guys are amazing.....

You don't remember the budget cuts caused be sequestration.....

Or maybe you just don't want to admit the truth.

What budget? Has anyone seen a budget from this administration?

You are, of course, kidding!

The President presents a budget to CONGRESS. Then its up to them. Who controls the Congress? Have you heard about the Freedom Caucus?

Here ya go:

Freedom Caucus votes to block GOP budget plans | TheHill

Once again WRONG!!!!!

Ted Cruz is going to get full military budget through Congress on first try. He is going to lower taxes for individuals and corporations.:1rotfl::1rotfl::clap2::1rotfl:

While we make jokes and laugh and pick on each others verbiage it is the folks in uniform who are paying the price.

And in the event the USA really had to respond with all it's resources it would become even worse.

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.

So the idiots in Congress have nothing to do with this?

We haven't had a "budget" since the 90s. A budget is where what comes in, matches what goes out.

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.

You might want to inspect that Defense funding a bit closer. Not all of it goes to the military. As a matter of fact, one year when I was curious, I found that a large chunk actually went to Hawaii's health care system. Amazing what gets put into some of these documents when passed around for a vote. Each state likes to put in it's little piece of pork.

So, you just want to get rid of the military, right? You do know that we have an all volunteer military don't you? These guys/gals did not get drafted. They train for war, not for the peace corps. This isn't about bringing them home. IT's about equipping them with the right tools to do their job....DEFENDING US. And that is the only Constitutional mandate, not health care, not food stamps, not housing, not free college.

Bring them home, my @ss! Better to fight the enemy over there than over here.

You mean those Ds and Rs you voted for are stealing from us? Stop voting for them.

Defending us? From what? The BS "enemy" ISIS they made up as the latest in a long line of boogeymen to "save us" from?

Seek help before you harm yourself. It is obvious that you are delusional and mentally disturbed.

Obvious to whom? Perhaps it is you who is delusional?

You don't think the politicians are stealing from us? You think they're all honest and above board? No, it's not me with delusions.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, alternatively translated as Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is a Salafi jihadist militant group that follows an Islamic fundamentalist, Wahhabi doctrine of Sunni Islam. Wikipedia

Wahhabi's come mostly from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia recently said they'd preemptively sell $750 billion in treasuries to keep them from being frozen by US courts IF we allow them to be sued in court over 9-11. Saudis threaten to sell $750 billion US assets if Congress passes bill that would let 9/11 victims sue Saudi Arabia - Yahoo Finance 19 of the hijackers were Saudi. What do they want to keep hidden?

The whole middle east thing is lies and deception. The invasion of Europe by "refugees". There's a bigger plan afoot than Syria.

Those who are in the comfort of their bubble within the bubble here in TV that have nothing invested real or otherwise have the inconsiderate gall to make such statements.

How would the smart mouths run if these killers had taken the head off one or more of their family members?

Do they think the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing where these monster killers rule is also a figment of some one's imagination.

One has to allow that some are not in control of their faculties when making such stupid comments. Or they really have learned how to physically assume the position to peer from their belly buttons.

The "refugees" are invaders. Europe will NEVER be the same...never. The inmates will be running the asylum soon.

Here in the US, the number of "minority" children enrolling for school has surpassed white children. A "minority baby boom" is 5 years in the making. We're being bred out of our own country. We passed the tipping point, it's all down hill from here. Morally, socially, technologically, educationally, we're done, finished. We peaked in the 50s and the 60s began our demise. We're 3rd worlding.

Thank the politicians, your "representatives", they did this to us. You kept voting for Ds and Rs who told you one thing and did another. Should have broken the corruption cycle with Perot. Remember all his charts? How you called him crazy? He was right...that sucking sound WAS the jobs going away.

You're a bunch of fools, sheep, blindly following the shepherd to be fleeced.

I'm with you on that....I have one getting ready to deploy.

Army Captain.

You truly have a distorted view of the world, a world view which is not base on reality.

Thank him from me and mine. God bless you.

Who's reality? The propagandists in .gov?

You know...the German people LOVED Hitler, thought everything they were doing was peachy, they didn't know what was really going on. They were horrified.

YOU don't know what's really going on. Neither do I. But I know it's not what's on the "news". The news is what they want you to hear, propaganda. Some day, you will be horrified.

I did 20 in the military, the last two years, because of my job, I was horrified. I'm a different person now, where .gov is concerned. Believe nobody speaking in an official capacity.

Call me what you will.

Thank you....I will be seeing him in a few days.
