Clinton era downsizing blamed for weak military finally boosted by Bush Hunter
Michael Reagan argues that Clinton cut funding and equipment for the armed forces while Bush and Rep. Duncan Hunter expanded funding and modernization. He asserts body armor counts rose to one million and Humvee armor and vehicle counts surged, citing canceled mine resistant vehicle requests and improved battlefield systems. He contrasts 2000 Army strength with 2006 gains and accuses Democrats of obstructing defense funding while veterans suffer from outdated gear.
