An article, and assertions in the OP ... reflecting ignorance. I'll place my confidence iin the area of military affairs with the President and people who actually served than I will in trollish articles only fools read (and those of us who follow links to the extremist websites).
Really, we need either a larger army to DEFEND the country (truly defend, not fight wars of convenience for the rich, "protecting and securing" resources).... or we need to keep the citizenry armed to the teeth so they could easily dismantle any invading army.

Not sure we need both.
You don't have to be sure we need both. The number of guns in citizen hands is a private matter. The size of military we have is a public matter.
We already spend way way too much money on a bloated military that was fighting against an over bloated threat from the USSR. Now that that does not exist we are still spending like drunken sailors on hookers and tattoos. We need to gut the military and spend like we have a brain and not like a red neck at a gun show after Obama got elected.
Or maybe he just understands the fact we spend far more on our military than a number of other countries combined with NO corresponding increase in security/safety and realizes that's due for a correction, eh?
I was thinking about what you say here the other day and couldn't help wondering when someone would come along with those words. How many of those you want to include in your number of countries have depended on us to protect them for years and years? I would much rather spend all that money on our military than to go back to the kind of foreign aid we had in the Cold War days. We will need that military force once Obama and the UN get that Small Arms Treaty passed. They could stand up to the UN and make Obozo back off.
LOL..."I Won"? That's your new clever nickname for Obama? If that's the best you can do, maybe it's time to find a new hobby.
Fact is that the vast majority of Americans favor downscaling the military. You can't claim to want to decrease the deficit or be a "fiscal conservative" and favor maintaining the military at its current levels.
I used I Won instead of Obama back in his first term when he continually reminded us about that. He has been worse about it since the past election but, yes, he did say it more than a few times in the first term.

Maybe it is like a brained person we need to be spending instead of like a fool who wants to kill our military like Obama does.
I guess you don't remember what it took to get our military going again after Clinton did his job on them. Were you around then?

You just called me a fool, but I won't report you for it.

Somehow they don't seem to think that citizens pay for guns with their own money and that government also pays for them with our money. It is tough for some of them to ever see through the liberal cloud that floats over their heads.
Stop invading foreign countries then we wouldn't need such a large military.
900+ military bases world-wide, 280+/- in Germany.
