With little fanfare, the Defense Department has announced a revolution in military strategy--a transformation in global outlook and combat tactics whose only true precedent is the equally momentous turnaround engineered by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara during the Kennedy administration. Then, as now, an incoming administration inherited a strategy heavily weighted toward high-intensity warfare among well-equipped adversaries, mostly in Europe and Asia; now, as then, the response has been to redirect the Pentagons attention toward low-intensity combat on the fringes of the developing world.

"And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure." if I have to spell out why than maybe you should all go read the Huffington Post [Video] "Thats one of the more incredible statements Ive ever heard a president of the United States make in modern times," McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, told Fox News. "We are the dominant superpower, and were the greatest force for good in the history of this country, and I thank God every day that we are a dominant superpower." bet they sure are happy we are who we were and who we are Für die Inhalte dieses Feeds ist alleine der jeweilige Autor/Anbieter verantwortlich.
