Former AF Secretary: We are in "strategic drawdown"

In some of the stronger on-the-record comments we've yet seen, former Air Force Secretary Wynne bluntly indicts the massive cuts proposed by the DoD. In addition to his comment that we are in a "strategic drawdown," he goes on to call it a "searing indictment of America’s capability to design and build modern weapons.”

There's more, reported here in full on DODbuzz.com.

Wynne's take, part of a commentary specifically on the end of F-22 Raptor production, highlights the F-22 decision in particular as symbolic of a path we are on toward a weakened defense.
