[QUOTE="WessonOil, post: 2095526, member: 25792"] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/06/politics/congress-spending-cuts/index.html?hpt=hp_t1[/url] [B][I]Furloughed workers, reduced combat readiness, shrunken naval operations and cuts to Air Force flying hours and weapons maintenance. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta listed those consequences as he provided a stark warning Wednesday about the effects of impending budget cuts on the military. The result, he said, would be "the most serious readiness crisis" faced by the military in over a decade. Panetta's address at Georgetown University in Washington, which he called "hopefully one of my last speeches as secretary of defense," included the first details of how the Pentagon would deal with the automatic spending cuts -- or sequestration in congressional jargon -- set to trigger March 1. For the Department of Defense, sequestration means $46 billion in spending cuts this year, which would result in "a serious disruption in defense programs and a sharp decline in our military readiness," Panetta said.[/I][/B] Um...isn't this the military that's supposed to protect us instead of the Second Amendment?
