Budget cuts to ground 1/3 of US Air Force
The USA is grounding a lot of its air force:
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — A third of the U.S. Air Force‘s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers will be grounded due to federal budget cuts, and only the units preparing to deploy to major operations, such as the war in Afghanistan, will remain mission-ready, a top general said Tuesday.
Other units would stand down on a rotating basis, said Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia.
“The current situation means we’re accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur,” Hostage said in a statement…
The Air Force didn’t immediately release a list of the specific units and bases that would be affected, but it said it would cover some fighters like F-16 Fighting Falcons and F-22 Raptors, and some airborne warning and control aircraft in the U.S., Europe and the Pacific. http://www.seattlepi.com/news/us/article/Federal-budget-cuts-ground-Air-Force-aircraft-4421196.php#ixzz2Q1cK90hO
Many think that the military of the USA is too strong to ever be beat militarily. The Bible says not to count on that (cf. Daniel 11:39). The Europeans are not comfortable standing by as the USA slowly diverts military protection away from them. Although they have started to respond, they will respond more and the USA will not like what will happen.
I have taught for years that the USA would switch priorities away from military spending, and this is another confirmation. And while the USA does have some powerful and fascinating new equipment (like the latest naval laser canon, see US navy laser cannon shoots down drone during testing – video), it will later find that it has gaps and problems that few truly anticipated.
Jesus said to “watch” (Mark 13:37).
