Look what the military is saying about the Defense cuts and troop reduction

This is a bad move by the Administration especially in a midterm election year.I have a niece in the Army who is a recruiter and she's told me that a lot of soldiers don't like these cuts.Its like the Administration is doing everything they can to keep the democrats for gaining seats in the midterm http://m.military.com/daily-news/2014/02/24/defense-budget-would-cut-troop-pay-and-benefits.html?ESRC=army-a.nl

Democrats had to work very hard for many months after the 2008 election to keep them a viable political party.

Where do you think this administration's agenda came from?
