By the look of the tail in the picture the airplane is obviously an MD87, not an MD80 as the MD80 series does not have a squared off rudder at the top.
The USA continues to spend more money on defense than all the nations on Earth combined. The silos have been sold off because we have so many other means to obliterate people as in nuclear subs manned with nuclear missiles among other things. The silos were being sold off long before Obama became President. Any attempt to claim that the U.S.A. is being weakened by Obama is just more right-wing drivel. We know that the right-wing hates Obama but lets try and stick with the facts rather than make things up. There are plenty of real issues that are wrong about Obama. This isn't one of them. Happy holidays!
