Can I call this one?

Obama said he has halted reductions in the Navy, is building up the Marine Corps and investing in the hardware — combat ships, submarines and fighter aircraft — they'll need to do their jobs. He promised higher pay, enhanced child care and improved support and other benefits.

From here.

If Obama has halted reductions in the Navy and is building up the Marine Corps, could someone in Obama's goverment circle please let the Department of Defense know? Last I checked, all the services were either drawing down or closing most enlistment categories, such as anything requiring a waiver (for example), effective 1 May 2009.

Just saying ...
