During the Obama Error flight mechanics would have to steal from air museums to find parts to get combat aircraft in the air.

Less than half of Marine Corps aircraft are ready to fly.

Could you post the trend in Defense appropriations from 2001-2017 so we can see if you are......uh.......well......"shading" Reality a bit with this citation from what appears to be some free rag...

Not that weatherman would shade the truth.

Wasn't the military budget slashed due to the Sequestration?

Yes. And Bush's off the budget war financing by credit card was unable to keep up with the degradation of combat equipment, including aircraft.

So they're blaming Obama for Congress' budget actions....

Yup.

You know, I read the article and 2 things popped out at me...........number one was what they said about the reason the aircraft were out and they said the main one was because the aircraft were outdated and over their service life, meaning we should have built new ones to replace them.

The other one was at the bottom of the article where they said that while the money is a start, they said they can't fix in one year what all of the years of sequester had done. Here's the actual quote from the article...................

President Trump has proposed a $603 billion defense budget in fiscal 2018 to help fill some of these gaps and improve readiness across the military, but many lawmakers on Capitol Hill have said that number is not high enough. Instead they are pushing for the $640 billion topline championed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas.

"While we cannot repair all of the damage done as a result of sequestration in a single year, we can and should do more than this level of funding will provide," Turner said. "For national security reasons, we cannot afford to wait until 2019 to begin to rebuild our military."

Guess what? The sequester was put in place by the GOP.

Obummer pulled out billions out of his ass to hand to the worlds leading sponsor of terrorism, the #1 supplier of weapons responsible for killing most of our troops.
But not a dime for our military.

What's really bad is what they have to do to get replacement parts. They scavenge aircraft that have been sitting in bone yards for decades. How safe do you suppose those parts are? Good enough I guess as long as it isn't your son flying.

Obama wasn't even President these past 8 years! It was Boooooooooooooooooooosh

Maybe that's a good incentive to keep us out of unnecessary wars.

Combat readiness was at target levels in the Bush era, learn what you rant about.

The only money Iran got (dufus) was what actually belonged to it. Wasn't ours.

Thanks to Obama our troops are not only back in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now Syria, Libya and various other nations in Africa.
