US military will decrease troops

The US plans to take 100,000 troops out of their military force.

According to BBC News, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta stated that his plan is for the sake of creating a smaller military.

Panetta also revealed military cuts which will be made, such as the retiring of old cargo planes and Navy cruisers.

Republican presidential candidates feel that these plans are not good for the country and will argue against it throughout election time.
