The unveiling of the proposed Pentagon defense budget with its deep cuts has everyone wondering who wins and who loses. According to an online article by Foreign Policy wrote by Robert Haddick the winners are long-range bombers, aircraft carriers, submarines (and cruise missiles), special operations forces, drones, and cyber operations. The losers are ground forces, pay and benefits, old ships and planes, Joint Strike Fighter, and bases. Read his article "This Week at War: Winners and Losers of the Defense Budget" (January 27, 2012).
