Don't have too.  I joined in the Reagan years and served right on thru the Clinton years.  Still in.  

The amount of men and equipment the US Military "downsized over Clintons watch is unbelieveable.

At second glance, however, the Defense Department accounted for more than 100 percent of the decline. Subtract from the downsizing DoD's 260,000 cut in civilian employment and 670,000 cut in military personnel, and the non-Defense civilian workforce actually grew by 60,000 over the 12 years. Add in 145,000 new Postal Service jobs, and the non-Defense workforce grew by more than 200,000.

President Bush had nothing to do with the military downsizing policies of the democrat controlled White House of the 1990’s.

To further complicate the lives of active duty and veteran personnel, the Clinton administration stripped the services of their free-of-cost benefits and placed the services under the TRICARE system. That system required payroll deductions (sans: additional payroll taxes) for dental and health care while insisting that military and veteran personnel seek care from a list of TRICARE providers, before seeking assistance from downsized military medical facilities.

After a decade of slashing armaments spending by nearly 70 percent and downsizing the military contracting industry, Washington now seems inclined to increase outlays for weapons. And this spending will go far beyond the request for $12.2 billion in Kosovo emergency funds now before Congress.

With the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union came the desire to attain peace dividends in the form of reduced defense budgets and the rapid downsizing of the United States military force structure.

Since 1990, active Army ranks have been reduced from 770,000 to 495,000. The Army currently has 10 active combat divisions compared to the 18 it had at the start of Operation Desert Storm in 1991. What's been cut?


293,000 reservists;

two reserve divisions;

20 Air Force and Navy air wings with approximately 2,000 combat aircraft;

232 strategic bombers;

13 ballistic missile submarines with 3,114 nuclear warheads on 232 missiles;

500 ICBMs;

four aircraft carriers;

121 surface combatants and attack submarines, plus all the support basing, transport and logistic access, tanks, armored fighting vehicles, helicopters, etc.

Pentagon is anticipating about a $15 billion cut between the years 2001 and 2002 and a $77 billion inflation hit, which was made clear in the balanced budget agreement. The combined pain is an apparent $92 billion reduction in Defense Department buying power in the years ahead.

mandew... I have no problem with someone telling the truth about how stem cell research is or isn't banned or funded.

If the left told the truth then they wouldn't be humiliated so often.

....and Chopin's parents were both French,  He was born and raised in Poland but lived in France.

Bzzztt wrong answer

Justyna is hardly a french name He was born and raised in Poland and had to emigrate to Paris because of nationalist reason. During his life there was no such thing in poland, so if you want to be picky, he was born in what was then russia

While he did life and die in paris, I think any coneseur of his music will clearly see where his heart was. Revolutionary etiude anyone ?

He requested that his grave be sparkled with polish soil, and his heart was removed and burried in Warsaw, as her her request as well.

So, we'll give you french say... 10%

hehehehe

And staffo, i was talking about Marie offcouse, she was more talented of the two
