Cost Savings? Give me a break!

The Army announced that they are shutting down their cavalry units, the horses that are used in ceremonies honoring fallen soldiers. This belt tightening will save two million dollars a year, part of Trump’s plan to reorganize the military. BTW, it cost forty-five million dollars for Trump’s birthday parade and the Dept of Defense will spend one Trillion dollars to refurbish a thirteen year old plane for Trump to take with him when he leaves office. All this while cutting food aid for poor kids and funding for nursing homes and rural hospitals.

The UK government Over the years has cut back the army navy and air force. Now we are weak and with the way the world is going they now plan on rebuilding our forces. Should never have cut them back in the 1st place

@nevergiveup the UK government can be relied upon to fail utterly in defence planning regardless of which political stripe is in office.

Beware a man who wants tactical or battlefield nuclear weapons. He is under the delusion that a ‘limited’ nuclear war is actually possible and survivable.
