It was a great pre-rehearsed "zinger" by Obama that Romney had telegraphed by saying that same line about ships over the last few weeks.
And now, it's being played out in political cartoons like Romney thinks that we do need more horses and bayonets.
Give credit where it's due: David Axelrod.
As for the actual issue of the military size...I agree with Obama, who actually agrees with Donald Rumsfield. It was Rumsfield under Bush who began streamlining the military and pushing for a "modern" force without all the old things like lots of unnecessary ships and tanks (and probably bayonets and horses lol)
