General Keane: Pentagon’s Proposed Budget Cuts Are Harmful to the Army

General Keane: Proposed Budget Cuts Into Bone of Army (Washington Free Beacon)

Retired Gen. Jack Keane said the proposed budget cuts by the Pentagon would “cut into the bone and the capabilities of the Army” of the United States Monday on America’s Newsroom.

The budget being reportedly proposed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, according to the New York Times, will shrink the U.S. Army to its smallest number since before World War II and eliminate an entire class of Air Force attack jets.

Keane said this move reflected a poor understanding of the last century of U.S. military history.
