Yep, Pres. Reverse-Midas-Touch has managed to do it

AP shares the bad news:

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military isn't ready for a catastrophic attack on the country, and National Guard forces don't have the equipment or training they need for the job, a commission charged by Congress reported Thursday.

Even fewer Army National Guard units are combat-ready today than were nearly a year ago when the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves determined that 88 percent of the units were not prepared for the fight, the panel said in its report.

...

The commission's 400-page report concludes that the nation "does not have sufficient trained, ready forces available" to respond to a chemical, biological or nuclear weapons incident," an appalling gap that places the nation and its citizens at greater risk." [emphasis mine]

This is an independent commission providing this assessment.

Bush has pretty much screwed up everything he was involved in, whether in business or government. Why ruin such a consistent record? He's broken our military too. No matter how great an effort our wonderful men and women in uniform make, they have an incompetent Commander-in-Chief, who operates out of his gut (well, he couldn't very well operate out of a brain, could he?) with no goals, no clearly defined mission, no plan for withdrawal, and no concern for the troops he daily sends into risk.

Who supports a raise in military pay? Dems
Who supports quality healthcare for our troops when they return? Dems
Who favors diplomacy first and military action as a last resort? Dems
Who favors adequate training, armor, supplies, and rest between deployments? Dems
Who trumpets their "support" for the troops? GOP
Who has thwarted bills to actually support the troops? GOP

Just saying.
Of course, once you break the military you can replace through privatization, right? And isn't that pretty much the goal of all the WH policies?

Cui bono? [Who benefits?]

Well, let me give you a clue. Not the American people.
