The Patriot Post® · Cheney Slams Military Cuts

Dick Cheney responded Monday to Barack Obama’s proposed military cuts saying they will do “enormous long-term damage to our military.” He said the administration simply has the wrong view of defense. “They act as though it is like highway spending and you can turn it on and off. The fact of the matter is he is having a huge impact on the ability of future presidents to deal with future crises that are bound to arise.” The U.S. is less respected and less trusted in the world, and these cuts are bound to exacerbate that problem. But Cheney really hit the nail on the head when he said of Obama, “He would much rather spend the money on food stamps than he would on a strong military or support for our troops.”
