How come the media never brings this up?

While reading an article in the FT about Democrat’s intentions in Iraq, I came across a comment that stated:

“They (Democrats) would vote for an extra $75bn for the military, which they described as broken, citing the fact that there were no combat-ready spare army units”.

Now though I agree completely that our military is running on fumes when it comes to troops, I would like to know why the media and the like never bring up Bill Clinton when it comes to the subject?

Remember it was Bill Clinton who felt America no longer needed a large military and cut our battle ready battalions from 19 to 10. How nice it would be to have those troops now
