The question is which programs, and how deep, and with some, like FCS, do we throw the baby out with the bathwater?

It is truly scary that we do a months long QDR analysis process, which will undoubtedly result in huge cuts in programs, hardware, end strength and mission readiness and capability for the present and future.  At the same time, Congress passes unaffordable spending bills of unprecedented scope in a matter of hours with not a single member even reading what they were voting on.  Are they fools or traitors?  Or both?

This administration is only 100 days into the ruination of our nation.  God only knows what further damage they can inflict in the remainder of their terms in office.

Historians will look back and wonder how our citizens allowed this great calamity to take place.

We are so screwed.
