This first ran about 2 weeks ago, and was re-broadcast this weekend.
Under Obama, our military has been shrinking to the lowest level since before World War II began.
Partly because Obama wants to use defense spending for social programs. But mainly because of Obama's dislike of U.S. global reach (i.e., anti-colonialism, one of his core beliefs), his desire to limit that reach, and to divert the U.S. military to ideological missions other than actual military defense.
All in a dangerous time when Russia, China, North Korea, Iran and Islamic terror groups are all rising in their aggression toward the United States. Creating vulnerability at a time when we most need to be militarily ready.
But the opening minutes above, interviewing former Defense secretary Robert Gates, and General (and former DIA director) Michael Flynn, and former Defense secretary and CIA head Leon Panetta, make clear that this is a serious danger, seen by people who have led national security for decades, and not just a talking point for Republicans.
