"The proposal calls for the Army to be cut to about 450,000 troops, down
from a peak of 570,000 after the Sept. 11 attacks. Troop levels were already
slated to drop to 480,000 - but now even more are on the chopping block."

"Hagel also wants to eliminate the fleet of A-10 "tank killer" aircraft,
designed in the 1970s to go after targets on the ground. Sen. Kelly Ayotte,
R-N.H., whose husband was an A-10 pilot, has already vowed to fight plans to
retire the plane."

Well it's not like we are ever going to fight again, is it?
