Obama Guts US Defense

Wed 10 Jun 2009, 3:40 pm by J.B.

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what US Defense systems and programs have been cut so far, in order to pay for social welfare programs.

I did a search on which programs have been cut, or completely canceled, and I was surprised to find out just what has already been done.



  • Boeing Airborne Laser Missile Defense System: canceled


  • Space Based "Multiple Kill Vehicle" Missile Defense system: canceled


  • F-22 Raptor: canceled (Meanwhile, the Chinese J-12 will be operational in 2020, and the Russian 5th generation fighter will be operational by as early as late 2016)


  • V-22 Osprey Next Gen. VTOL troop transport: canceled



  • US Army Future Combat System: canceled


  • FCS Modernization program for M-1 Abrams: canceled


  • FCS Modernization program for Paladin: canceled


  • FCS Modernization program for Bradly Fighting Vehicle: canceled


  • Secretary Gates has proposed that 2 Carriers be retired, and that the Navy be reduced to less than 300 vessels total

In light of North Korean and Iranian nuclear missile advances, as well as the instability of Pakistan, Chinese ambition for reclaiming Taiwan, and recent Russian advances on its Democratic neighbors, I am wondering if our defensive systems should be cut to pay for the historic $11 trillion that has already been committed to paying for Socialized medicine, business, banking, and other things.
