BREAKING : Trump Spearheads Plan to Rebuild the Depleted U.S. Military
8 years of Obama has left America with record debt and a depleted, demoralized Military.
The good news is President Trump is wasting no time in working with our military leaders in building back our armed forces to be better than ever before.
From FoxNews
From the Air Force to the Army, America’s military service branches are busy preparing ambitious proposals to expand, as President Trump renews his pledge to rebuild a fighting force he says has become “depleted.”
“Our country will never have had a military like the military we’re about to build and rebuild,” Trump said at last week’s press conference. “It won’t be depleted for long.”
The president made rebuilding the military a centerpiece of his campaign, and sent a fresh signal of his intentions with his choice for national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster – who for months has sounded the alarm about the declining state of the U.S. Army.
“We are outranged and outgunned by many potential adversaries … [and] our army in the future risks being too small to secure the nation,” McMaster told a Senate Armed Services subcommittee last April. Trump’s decision to tap McMaster brings a vocal advocate for boosting the Armed Forces into his inner circle.
Seeing an opening to address longstanding readiness concerns, the service branches all have proposed plans to expand. For some, they seek a gradual increase. For others, the proposed ramp-up would be steep.
The Air Force wants to expand its forces by 30,000 airmen over the next five-to-six years.
The Army wants to expand by roughly that amount by October, according to a defense official who shared the plan with Fox News but was not authorized to do so.
At the time of McMaster’s testimony last year, the Army was at its smallest level since before World War II. Earlier this month, the U.S. Army’s second highest-ranking officer said just 5 percent of his force could “fight tonight.” Gen. Daniel Allyn, vice chief of staff of the Army, said while a third of his 58 brigade combat teams could be ready soon, only three could deploy immediately in the event of sudden conflict.
As part of a proposed expansion, the Navy also wants 82 more ships and submarines, a 30 percent increase in the size of the fleet.

What can’t Trump do? This guy is amazing. In less than 5 weeks he’s getting everything started. Build you the border wall? coming soon. Rebuilding the military? getting started. Fixing the VA? getting started. Deporting millions of illegals? starting but not moving fast enough. Ripping out billions form cities hiding illegals? not started yet. Kill DACA? we’re waiting. Blocking Syrians from flooding USA neighborhoods? Done (except for 9th circuit). Destroying ISIS? ongoing. Killing TPP? done. Renegotiate NAFTA? need our trade chief approved in senate first. Making better trade deals for USA? starting soon. Bringing back USA jobs? already started. Ditching all of Obama’s climate change crap? no movement yet. Freeze on federal hiring? done. Ban on White House lobbying? done. Build oil pipelines? starting soon. Restoring community safety? School choice? Break up 9th circuit? needs to be done.
About ripping out Obama’s climate crap, rescuing the two oil pipelines from regulatory limbo and getting them going, plus undoing a bunch of anti-coal regulations counts, so call that started, but not finished yet.
two words : Scott Pruit
The US outspends the rest of the world in defense spending.
US spends 3 times more than China and RUssia altogether.
Problem is all the money gets swallowed in corruption in the swamp, so that US forces are not effective at all.
Most planes cannot fly smae for the ships.
Except beating up third world countries, the US stand no chance against Russia and or CHina
Which they need to confront to please the neocons and avoid bankrupcy
Real revolution would be to focus on rebuilding america, but the military swamp and Israel need to destroy his neghbours will prevent that
SOme examples of the wasteful spending and inefficiency of the forces
– Ground forces
Currently, the U.S. Army relies overwhelmingly on armored vehicle systems that were developed in the 1970s. These systems proved their worth over the last two decades. These “legacy” systems have been repeatedly improved since their introduction. These improvements have consisted of more powerful and efficient engines and drivetrain, modernized communications equipment, targeting and sensory upgrades, improved armor and improved weapons systems

Sixty-two percent of the US Navy’s F/A-18s are out of service, of which 27 percent are in major depot work and 35 percent are simply awaiting maintenance or parts, Defense News said, adding that 53 percent of all Navy aircraft – some 1,700 combat aircraft, patrol, transport planes, and helicopters – can’t fly.
Moreover, there “isn’t enough money to fix the fleet’s ships, and the backlog of ships needing work continues to grow,” the article says. Some subs have allegedly been out of service literally for years, “as much as four years or more,” Defense News reports.
You can assume 80% of spending is wasted in useless R&D or worse
