Here are just a few:
1) In 1993 he voted to cut missle defense funding by $400 million.
2) In 1994 he voted to cut missle defense funding even more-by
$513 million.
3) In 1995, he voted to freeze defense spending for 7 years, slashing $34 billion from Defense Dept. funding.
4) He voted against an $11 billion military construction bill, which included $4.3 billion for military housing.
5) He voted to cut funding for B-2 bombers.
6) He voted again to slash another $300 million from missle defense research and development.
Man... I could go on and on if you want. Not to mention all the military upgrades he has opposed. Like replaceing the B-52 with the stealth bomber. Replacing the Poseidon SLBM ( submarine-launched ballistic missile) with the Trident 1 or 2.
Just think of what those soldiers would be going through if Kerry would have had his way. Oh, I also forgot about his wanting to cut $777 million in National Guard and Reserve equipment.
It's clear he is no friend of the fighting man. I think Zell is right...
if Kerry had his way we would be fighting this war with spitballs.
