The Clinton Administration tried to dismantle the military

Reasons to agree:


  1. Clinton decreased military personnel by 500,000.

  2. Clinton decreased military spending by about $50 billion a year.

  3. Under Clinton the U.S. Army lost four active divisions.

  4. Under Clinton the U.S. Army lost two reserve divisions.

  5. Under Clinton the U.S. Navy lost almost 80 ships.

  6. Under Clinton the U.S. Air Force saw its active personnel decrease by 30 percent.

  7. Under Clinton the Marines' personnel dropped by 22,000.

  8. We need more troops than we have in order to win a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. That is about the size of Military that we should have. Weather Bush 1, Clinton, or Bush 2 were right or wrong in their actions in Iraq, we need to have the capacity to win the war that Bush 2 tried to fight. It was wrong for the Clinton administration to dismantle the military.

      And then we went to undeclared war over false pretenses, spending trillions wastelfully, as we deteriorated domestically. It is amazing we have survived 8 years post Clinton but are recovering slowly after massive damage and near collapse.
