The Pentagon Is About To Undergo These Major Budget Cuts

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Monday outlined a five-year budget proposal that would reduce the size of the U.S. armed forces and slow the growth of military compensation in light of current fiscal constraints and calls for the Pentagon to get leaner. After more than a decade of war, the Pentagon is shifting focus to its strategic challenges and future fiscal uncertainties. The proposed budget, said Hagel, will put the military in balance over the next decade and position it for those tests.
