“Pentagon Wants Bigger Army, Marine Corps”

The Pentagon is seeking more than $20 billion in its 2009 budget to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps as the military struggles to fight wars on two fronts, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The proposed budget, which will be unveiled Monday, will call for $15.5 billion to boost the size of the Army by 7,000 soldiers, to a total of 532,400. And it will propose spending $5 billion to add 5,000 Marines to the Corps, for a total of 194,000.

Huge waste of tax money, considering how many chickenhawks and pro-war trolls exists in this country.

To these people I say; “Get thee to your local recruiting office today!”
