[quote:Anonymous Coward 43157020:MV8yMzIwMDczXzM5NTUxNDIzXzk4NTdCOUQ5] Constitutionally, the Navy gets priority funding. The United States was never to have a standing army as well as air-force. The Navy and Marines can handle air and ground forces as well.

This is mind boggling stupid, to save 14 million they are shutting down the space surveillance system that tracks objects in space.
"The U.S. Air Force will shut down its space surveillance system that tracks satellites and other orbiting objects by October 1 due to budget constraints"
Obviously they don't feel the need to track objects past October 1st.
I'd say something is up, they getting ready to bug out, and they don't want anyone to know about the incomings.
Serious shit
