Obama's Defense "cuts"

[Havax]

Does anyone know if these are real cuts or cuts in proposed increases? Would love to see a chart. I heard cut by half a trillion dollars by my skeptical mind initially thinks that won't mean $500b from what the current spending levels are.

Pres. Obama approves a military budget that is—gasp—only about $50 billion LARGER than Pres. Bush's military budget when he left office (2008).

It's 500B over ten years, I believe. So minimal cuts.

1/3 cut in army and marines manpower

and more of a cut than Romney or Santorum would have
