LEON PANETTA FORGETS ABOUT THE PEOPLE

Our new SECDEF is shocked that the Pentagon may account for significantly less than 40% of the world's defense spending but omits one important group of people:

Such cuts "I believe would do real damage to our security, our troops and their families and our military's ability to protect the nation," Panetta said.

"It is an outcome that would be completely unacceptable to me as secretary of defense, to the president and, I believe, to our nation's leaders," he said.

What about the American people, Leon?
