Completely false claim purported by the Bush spindoctors. The truth is Kerry has voted for trillions in defense spending. Unlike many democracts Kerry is a budget hawk, and as such he is willing to vote against Defense appropriations bills that are wasteful, and there is a lot of pork in the defense industry.
The downsizing of the US military really began under the first Bush Administration in 1988. Many of the same bills the Bush Admin charges Kerry voted against were also not supported by #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney!
For those who think Kerry would be a wimp as President, do you really think hardcore military types like the gents named above would support him if they thought that was the case?
Clinton was an appeaser for sure, but Kerry isn't Clinton and we are living in a changed world. 9/11 was a wake up call for the World, not just the Republican party.
