Threats of calamity are common when it comes to budgeting battles, but this one is disgraceful. There's lots of room in the Pentagons budgets for cuts that will not adversely affect their performance, but say that those cuts are coming and they get all up in arms and threaten a return to the draft, completely ignoring the fact that it costs the same amount for an all volunteer force. The cry babies up there need to get a grip and realise that they, too are part of the spending problem, (along with entitlements) and they have to be part of the solution, or else. It's a big crap sandwich and they have to take their bites, too.
