Hagel's 'Defense Cuts' Are Smoke And Mirrors - Campaign for Liberty

Hagel's 'Defense Cuts' Are Smoke And Mirrors - Campaign for Liberty: "What Hagel proposes is not cuts, but instead a shift in spending away from personnel and toward new high-tech weapons which are favored by and profitable to the military-industrial complex.

The F-35, for example, will continue in production according to Hagel’s plan, despite the numerous cost over-runs and design flaws. This is likely because the F-35 is built in 46 US states and nine foreign countries! That makes it particularly popular in Congress, regardless of its flaws and expense."
