They'll fight it from the jobs layoff perspective.

But good our military will be staged in their new bases in Australia, regarding China and N. Korea.

They will continue to maintain carriers in key waters across the globe, close by China, Iran etc.....think Army and Marines will suffer larger portion of the cuts...AF and Navy not as much....Hope we learned something about invading countries that have not attacked us....

Every Republican candidate for President, except Ron Paul, wants to immediately invade, militarily threaten, or blow up parts of Iran the moment they take office.

That is a decision that Iran will ultimately make....we (I hope) have no interest in a ground war in Iran but if the knuckleheads attack our naval forces as threatened the sea will rise a few fractions of an inch from all the sunken Iranian warships...I hope they comprehend this!
