Need "Clinton decimated the military" debunk links!

[dodger501]

My manager is in the Air NG here in MN. He told me today he is not overly-political but tends to lean Republican because they "care more about the military."

I explained about Clinton continuing Pappy Bush and Cheney's post Cold War downsizing, but it did not seem to register

I've been Google'ing for over an hour with no luck.
It would be nice to have some reference for him on that as well as all the cuts Bush the Dumber has made to the VA and current combat troops.

Thanks!

1. I think there's an obvious: The Afghan Invasion

The troops that invaded Afghanistan were "Clinton's Military" as they were all trained and prepared by a Clinton defense department and corresponding Budget.

Freepers don't let any facts get in the way of a good Clinton hate rant.

2. I found a few references to the cuts

Cheney acknowledges the cuts began on his watch: http://www.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/08/24/latimes.cheney/

Cheney crafted military budget cuts: http://quest.cjonline.com/stories/082400/gen_0824005710.shtml

Actual figures for "Clinton's continuation of a 10 year program of military budget cuts (in 1997): http://wildcat.arizona.edu//papers/89/111/08_1_m.html

This will get you started, any way.
