Villas - The reduction of the Army from 18 active divisions at the end of the Cold War to 10 today is an example of our lack of concern for our security and the people we depend on to maintain it. The great 'bait and switch' which took thousands of members of the Guard and Reserve from anticipated stateside service into bloody combat and repeated deployments is another example. That doesn't address the Navy and Air Force. It is painful to read excuses and apologies for a dwindling military from people who have never put on a uniform, let alone fired a shot in combat. Si vis pacem, para bellum - "If you want peace, prepare for war."
