It was Army General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that took issue with those comments as one might expect.
"Theres a difference between having someone say they don't believe what you said versus ... calling us, collectively, liars," the general told reporters on Thursday, according to the Wall Street Journal. "My response is: I stand by my testimony. This was very much a strategy-driven process to which we mapped the budget.
Of course it was General, a more honest phrasing would have been: it was a strategy-driven process to which we mapped to increase our budget.
It's interesting that the General was one of those perfumed warriors that came out of Personnel, better known as S-1.
He's the perfect spokesman for Obama.
Either they are lying because they are syncophants to the president, or they are incompetent. I'd prefer to believe they are lying to keep the stassi from the door.
Nobody has an opinion on this Ryan asshole calling our Generals liars?
So much for Republicans supporting the troops.
You don't know what you're talking about.
This is just another phase from the left attempting to demonize the GOP for the coming election.
Generals have to follow orders and Obama is the COC......so anything that comes from the White House is untrustworthy. Everything must be questioned.
These are political generals.
1. ALL Generals are political. You don't get to colonel, let alone general, without knowing how to deal with politics.
2. This is not "The Left" trying to demonize anyone. Ryan f-d up. Oops. Then he corrected it before it got too out fo hand. He's smart that way.
3. No one is talking about the budget proposed. It's actually quite solid and based in logic - which is why the generals are behind it. Our enemies and wars aren't massive land wars with cavalry and infantry. they are fought with drones, intelligence agencies and special operational forces - which is where this budget shifts the focus. But those screaming about the deficit demonize this budget why? Because it didn't originate from "their side". No surprise.
Seriously, people using our military as political footballs is sickening. Both sides.... shame on you.

Nothing to say about the OP, eh?
YOu expected her to address the topic and issues of the post, instead of criticizing posters? Guess you're not familiar with her. She just proved a point from another thread.
Just another case of you excusing your wingnut politicians for their public statements, eh?
You continue to demonstrate why nobody respects you, CG.
No doubt. Plus you notice she overlooks the fact that it was RYAN who brought up the military in the first place? yeah that.
The military is certainly fair game for discussion. If we cut our military budget in half, we would STILL spend more than every other country in the world combined AND we could make serious impact on the deficit. But heaven forbid we use a little common sense.
