I've read a bit about past budget wars. I've heard from old skool Marines alot more.
The budget wars are back. Why do I say that? Because of this new website...SaveCombatRescue.org. They're honcho'ed by a couple of LTC's but have Generals Moseley, Looney and Corley apparently (its not clear) on board.
The General Moseley connection is interesting. He was a hardcore believer in the F-22 and now he's back bigger than ever leading the charge not only for additional F-22s but also (and again this is pure supposition) fighting to keep Combat Rescue flying new helicopters and in Air Combat Command.
The Air Force is first out the box but you can bet that others will follow. The budget wars are about to heat up.
The ones to watch in my opinion is the US Army. They're getting bent over a table and raped by the budget thinking of the OSD. They won't let this stand and Hagel is a former Soldier. Somewhere in his mind is the knowledge that ground forces need new gear too.
This will be interesting.
Moseley is also a Lockheed "consultant" (agent) wanting to kill the A-10 and stick with the Joint Stink Failure.
ReplyDeleteI know I mentioned this before but worth considering again. Who rescued Scott O'Grady? Who responded to the F-15 in Libya? And I will ask. How much more duplicate capability can we allow to exist for a nation $17T in debt with more to come? As for Mosely well, look at his bio.
