Some Republicans have defended the Pentagon’s move. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the Obama administration was embellishing the cuts it was making on the non-defense side, but he did not think the military decisions made ahead of sequestration were political.

“I think a lot of this is political theater, letting guys out of jail,” Graham said Thursday. “I am convinced sequestration on the defense side has a debilitating effect on the military over time... I never had every general and every admiral tell me the same thing. I’m not going to second-guess what they’re doing.”

Arizona Sen. John McCain said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” the impending sequestration cuts — particularly those that impact the U.S. military — are “unconscionable” and should be averted.

The longtime Republican leader questioned the wisdom of making such “enormous reductions” to defense that will amount to 50 percent of the overall planned cuts.

“Across-the-board cuts are the worst and most cowardly way to approach this situation,” McCain said. “The president should be calling us over somewhere — Camp David, the White House, somewhere — and us sitting down and trying to avert these cuts.”

These cuts wouldn't be as severe had Buckwheat not instructed Gates to cut nearly 1/2 $Trillion$ from defense in the past few years.

Our defense hasn't been this weak since the Carter days.
