Pentagon Set to Slash Military to Pre-World War II Levels
COLLAPSE STORY
BY TRACY CONNOR AND JIM MIKLASZEWSKI
Firing the opening salvo in a bloody budget battle, the U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is set to recommend drastic cuts of billions of dollars that would take U.S military forces to levels not seen since before World War II.

The cuts in military spending, forces and weapons programs address the stark reality of growing budget pressures at home and point to improbability that the United States will ever again engage in a large ground war.

The plan, to be unveiled Monday afternoon, is likely to face stiff opposition on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers will battle for every troop, weapons program and dollar.

Fine by me. The military budget is drastic. There's no need for us to be in everyone's country when our own is deteriorating.
