re: #232 Barefoot Grin

Can anyone help me? I’m too tired to do the research. I keep hearing from rightwingers—even retired military on Fox—that Obama “decimated” the military. But wasn’t that a self-inflicted wound due to the sequestration?

“Decimate” is a weird word to use describing the military since it was originally used by the Romans to describe killing every 10th soldier as a group punishment when they did something really, really wrong, but you still needed most of them as soldiers.

Had this happened in the modern US military I think we’d have heard about it.
