Doonesbury Say What?

"We're on the fringe right now. We can barely defend ourselves."
— Rep. Bobby Schilling, member of the Armed Services Committee, on the U.S. military

Yeah, right. Yes, the Navy has some serious maintenance issues. Yes, the Army is exhausted. We can still project power like no one else, and no one else represents a serious threat to the U.S. mainland.

What a tool.

If you're overstretched, Mr. Representative, isn't the correct solution to draw down troops and close down some of your fronts? And to pay attention to Vezzini when he talks about the futility of fighting land wars in Asia.
