Sarah Palin supports troops in Afghanistan, disagrees with McCain on F-22

Here are excerpts from Sarah Palin's speech in Hong Kong yesterday tha affect the United States military in some way.

Sarah Palin's thoughts on Afghanistan, C-17, F-22:

Though we are engaged in two wars and face a diverse array of threats, it is the defense budget that has seen significant program cuts and has actually been reduced from current levels!

Despite the need to move men and material by air into theaters like Afghanistan, the Obama Administration sought to end production of our C-17s, the work horse of our ability to project long range power. Despite the Air Force saying it would increase future risk, the Obama Administration successfully sought to end F-22 production – at a time when both Russia and China are acquiring large numbers of next generation fighter aircraft. It strikes me as odd that Defense Secretary Gates is the only member of the Cabinet to be tasked with tightening his belt.
