    American Military requires strength and the latest technology and equipment. We are in a long haul. Of course, there might be changes required in the administration and transparency of purchase, for example. However, frankly, in my opinion, the Middle East jihadi wars will continue for a long time, in phases, and then there nations that rely on their oil and business and will support some of the egregious leaders.

    Then there are the Chicoms, the Old Guard of China, who even the Russians worry about. And what does Obama have in mind for the U.S.A. forces...

    Obama’s Strategy for Disaster
    http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/289475/obama-s-strategy-disaster-arthur-herman

    Yesterday the Obama administration revealed how it plans to reorient our military in order to pay for the half a trillion dollars it wants in defense cuts over the next decade. Under the guise of creating a “leaner, meaner” and more mobile force, President Obama and Secretary of Defense Panetta will actually leave us with an Army, Navy, and Air Force that can be everywhere but fight nowhere; that’s able to act quickly but not decisively, and with few resources to deal with the unexpected — which tends to be the norm in strategic affairs — or project real power where it counts.

    Did the US brass consult with you for your opinion and advice?

    Once more you indicate your limited ability and, lack of understanding and appreciation of this forum. It is about opinions as well as facts if they can be linked or quoted. But one thing is clear you are likely a leftist who is against the military, and pro-Islamism from comments on other threads.

    Do try to do better... if possible.
