http://slate.msn.com/id/2082499/I believe Franken's book as a whole chapter on the RW myth that Clinton "gutted" in the military.

yes things like STAR WARS were cut but things like the Predator drone were built under Clinton. Plus a lot of money into "the first JDAMs—or, as some of them were originally called, GAMs (for GPS-Aided Munitions)—were developed, produced, and used in the Clinton years. "

3. I'm not sure what "gutting" means but |
|
Clinton did decrease military spending while in office.
If I recall it as touted as the peace dividend. I also recall that at the time it was a pretty popular idea.
