US Army plans to shrink to pre-WWII levels

The USA is planning on cutting the size of its army:

February 24, 2014

(Reuters) – The Pentagon said on Monday it would shrink the U.S. Army to pre-World War Two levels, eliminate the popular A-10 aircraft and reduce military benefits in order to meet 2015 spending caps, setting up an election-year fight with the Congress over national defense priorities…

The department plans to reduce the size of the Army to between 440,000 and 450,000 soldiers, he said. The Army is currently about 520,000 soldiers and had been planning to draw down to about 490,000 in the coming year.

A reduction to 450,000 would be the Army’s smallest size since 1940 – before the United States entered World War Two – when it had a troop strength of 267,767, according to Army figures. The Army’s previous post-World War Two low was 479,426 in 1999.

The planned cut in the Army’s size comes as the Defense Department is in the process of reducing projected spending by nearly a trillion dollars over a 10-year period…

A senior U.S. defense official…, who spoke on condition of anonymity, warned that a return to deeper budget cuts in 2016 would result in “our forces being too small and out of balance with respect to readiness and modernization.” http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/24/us-usa-defense-budget-idUSBREA1N1IO20140224

Many think that the military of the USA is too strong to ever be beat militarily. The Europeans are not comfortable standing by as the USA slowly diverts military protection away from them, while it also cuts the size of the Army.

The US Air Force announced major cuts last year (Budget cuts to ground 1/3 of US Air Force); as did the US Navy (Pentagon concerned about additional looming defense cuts–prophetic ramifications?).

About a year ago, the US Army removed all of it tanks from Germany (There are no longer USA tanks in Germany: Do Americans understand this is a serious risk?). This helps put the USA in a situation that it simply will not be able to effectively react if European forces attack.

I have taught for years that the USA would switch priorities away from military spending, and this reduction of army troops, as well as presence in Germany, is another confirmation. Notice something I had published in 2009 in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect:

“Because of domestic economic concerns and international pressures, Barack Obama is shifting priorities away from defense spending… This will help lead to the destruction of the United States, when the Europeans are ready and the U.S.A. is not” (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect. Nazarene Books, 2009, p. 147).

The above has been happening, and today’s announcement is further confirmation.

The power in Europe is starting to rise up. And yes, ultimately, I believe that Europe’s Galileo ‘GPS’ or similar technology, as well as what is likely to come from Europe’s Large Hadron Collider and/or Germany’s FAIR collider, as well as its ELI and Galileo projects, will be used as part of an attack on American (USA and possibly Canadian) forces, as well as to help prevent high-tech counter-strikes from the USA. With the loss of more ground troops in Europe, the USA will also not be able to effectively respond in a more conventional manner as well.

Europe will further develop military technology to fill in the gap, and continues to do so. And the USA will one day regret it according to Bible prophecy (e.g. Daniel 11:39).

As, Jesus said, “Watch” (Mark 13:37).
