US Military Recovery

The US Military has suffered Obama’s excesses in political correctness, VA failures, unsafe rules of engagement, Muslim infiltration, social engineering experiments and his war on Christianity with the dismissal of the Chaplains.

The last low point for the US Military was the Vietnam War (1954-1975) with poor handling by Lyndon Johnson (1963-1968). Johnson should have bombed the snot out of North Vietnam’s military supply depots and supply routes instead of sending more US troops. This war was unpopular with many US voters for lots of reasons.

The Military had its high points after Reagan entered the Whitehouse (1980-1988). The Reagan defense build-up provided a new generation of smart weapons and weapon systems.  The full impact of this work was seen in the first Golf War in 1990 (Desert Storm) on live on CNN. The Soviet Union dissolved in 1991. 

The attack of the Twin Towers on 9/11/01 started a new chapter for the US Military with the invasion of Afghanistan 2001-2014. It would have been better to ban all US visas for Muslims and send Special Ops teams to find and kill Osama bin Laden.  We are still in Afghanistan.

The invasion of Iraq began 3/30/03 and Iraq fell on 4/9/03, but a violent, costly occupation lasted for another 6 years. Saddam Hussein was captured 12/31/03 and executed in December 2006.  Maliki became President of Iraq 4/22/06. The US troop surge in 2007 was successful. The US Military leaves Iraq 6/30/09. The National Debt was $5 Trillion in 2000 and grew to $10 Trillion by 2009, largely due to the Afghan and Iraq Wars.

After the 2008 Mortgage Meltdown, Obama began to impose social engineering on the US Military and cut its budget while continuing with a losing situation in Afghanistan. On 5/2/11 Special Ops killed Osama bin Laden who was hiding in Pakistan.

The Arab Spring further destabilized the Middle East and gave rise to ISIS. UN Agenda 21 requires the dissolution of all current nation-states and the Arab Spring provided the opportunity for ISIS to fill the vacuum left by deposed governments. See: Wikipedia below:
The Arab Spring or The Democracy Spring was a revolutionary wave of both violent and non-violent demonstrations, protests, riots, coups and civil wars in the Arab world that began on 17 December 2010 in Tunisia with the Tunisian Revolution, and spread throughout the countries of the Arab League and its surroundings.
Major insurgencies and civil wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen resulted, along with civil uprisings in Bahrain and Egypt, large street demonstrations in Algeria, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman and Sudan and minor protests in Djibouti, Mauritania, the Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and the Western Sahara. A major slogan of the demonstrators in the Arab world is "the people want to bring down the regime".
The wave of initial revolutions and protests faded by mid-2012, as many Arab Spring demonstrations were met with violent responses from authorities, as well as from pro-government militias and counter-demonstrators. These attacks were answered with violence from protestors in some cases. Large-scale conflicts resulted—the Syrian Civil War, Iraqi insurgency and the following civil war, the Egyptian Crisis and coup, the Libyan Crisis, and the Crisis in Yemen.

Obama’s damage includes an increase in our National Debt from $10 Trillion to $20 Trillion due to UN Agenda 21 implementation and record federal overspending on UN programs.

The election of Donald Trump is yet another chapter in this saga. We expect a repeat of the Reagan years to restore the US economy and undo the damage Obama did to the Military. Our biggest problem will be paying off the National Debt.
