4. Then they'd accuse the democrats of playing politics with the troops.
Edited on Thu Apr-07-11 10:54 AM by EOTE
Either the wars are essential or they're not. I happen to think that the wars are not only humongous wastes of money, but a travesty on the world stage. But if the democrats were to do something like this, I'd imagine it could come back to bite them VERY quickly. If the cuts aren't made, then it would be seen as using the military as a carrot. If the cuts were made, it could be stated that there was never any urgency to the wars to begin with. I just don't see that working out well.
