The idea that the incoming Trump administration intends to shake up the Pentagon should not come as a surprise, but rather welcomed by Americans who want a strong, credible, and effective defense
It’s an old saying repeated by military strategists who consistently warn, “Don’t prepare to fight the last war…”
Their inference is that, while there are lessons to be learned from studying the last conflict, the next one may well be profoundly different than what you previously endured, catching a nation totally unprepared.
For America, the “next one” may already be upon us. It is not the scenario we anticipated, namely enemy aircraft coming over the pole to attack with nuclear weapons, or a catastrophic exchange of ICBMs.
