Now that the Conservatives have a majority, do you think the CF will receive its much needed funding?

Our Navy is too small and Air force is almost non-existant.

jeffb said:Based on what? Our "non-existant" (sic) air force is currently doing a pretty good job right now in Libya. Such a good job in fact that we are running out of bombs.

Dennis Ruhl said:One of the worlds longest coastlines - 3 antique destroyers, 12 frigates, 4 perpetually dry-docked obsolete subs. Plus some wannabe warships suited for training or policing. Even the frigates are pushing 20 years. I never realized it was that bad but it sure is.
dapaterson said:And the real Air Force is doing stellar work in keeping the air bridges open to both large international deployments, together with supporting transportation for disaster relief at home.
psionic0 said:Should it really matter where the money is spent. All branches are in need of it. True the army has been the focus for the last several years. However that is due to the last mission. That being said, most of the equipment that was bought for the Afghan mission was done reactionary. In most cases, it took a casualty for the powers that be to cough up the equipment necessary to keep our troops safe. Remember folks, we used to travel to streets of Kabul in open top ILTIS's. Who'd be willing to do that today?
dapaterson said:(1) The Navy, Army and Air Force are unable to spend the funding they currently have; every year millions of dollars are lapsed. How will throwing more money at them change any thing - when they are unable to spend the money they already have?
Dennis Ruhl said:I would consider the administration failing to go to heroic lengths to spend all the available funds by March 31 every year as a plus rather than a minus. The March spending spree in government adds little to programs, but simply serves to sustain budgets at a higher level for the upcoming year.
