It was one of the first things Clinton did when he got into office and he was a moderate Democrat. Obama being radical leftist i expect he will destroy the military completely not to mention they will have a hard time keeping people in with him as commander in chief. I purposefully left the ARMY becasue of Clinton becoming president.

...Obama being radical leftist...

Radical leftist?

Because Obama = Vladimir Lenin or Mao Zedong.

I do sense hyperbole however, as "destroy the military completely", well ... put it this way. If Barack Obama becomes president, he won't pass a bill that completely dissolves the armed forces and sells off all military property. Shrink? Yes. Destory competely? No.

Although, if cuts are more significant than the Clinton ones, it will be significantly smaller than what it is now (up to 35%?).

Wow, I spent the majority of my active duty time in the Army under Clinton and they were the best years of my military career. When Bush got into office was when things really started going down hill really fast.

My uncle served in the Air Force under Carter and later under Reagan and he told me that life under Carter in the Air Force was lousy. It is the complete opposite of what you have to say. Perhaps that is because you did not have to worry about dying during the Clinton administration, because the Cold War had ended during the previous Bush administration.
