BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – The number of U.S. Army soldiers on active duty has been reduced to its lowest since 1940. The Army Times reported that the Army’s endstrength for March was 479,172 which is fewer soldiers than the service’s previous post-World War II low. President Obama explained that, “The continual reduction is to guarantee that the U.S. military won’t be able to overwhelm an enemy with numbers during a battle, in which in my opinion, rises to the level of cheating. I also plan on cutting funding for Pentagon, unless they comply with my order to stop trying to advance technology that would also give our soldiers an unfair advantage during any type of military confrontation.”
