US MILITARY DECIMATED UNDER 0BAMA
The military has been reduced by 10%? Not quite. Now for the truth.


Kaslin claims that the military has been cut by 10% under Obama. She's lying, of course. Spending is UP.

From Time magazine:



"Pentagon spending since 2001 vastly exceeds that of any decade since 1950, and it is notable that the wars of the 1950s and 1960s (Korea and Vietnam) involved far larger deployments of troops and equipment than the wars since 2001.


— Second, the $612 billion President Obama is seeking for 2014 is a major increase above the average yearly amount ($354 billion) spent during the Cold War (1948-1991). The 2014 level is a $258 billion, or 72% — increase."
