Report finds US military is WEAK and will struggle to win a war: China is building more warships, fighter pilots don't have jets or training and army can't recruit enough soldiers
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The worrisome trend was aired Tuesday by The Heritage Foundation, a think tank that analyzes the strength of the armed forces and potential threats to the US
- In its Foundation's Index of US Military Strength, Heritage rated the military 'weak' and 'at risk' of not being able to protect America's vital national interests
- The weak rating, down from 'marginal' recorded by the Washington-based agency last year, is the first in the index's nine-year history
- It further found that rapidly advancing China remained the most 'comprehensive security challenge' to an ill-prepared US force
- Aside from the overall 'weak' rating garnered by the military, Heritage provided each of the military branches with their own individual rankings
- The Army scored 'marginal,' while the Air Force was ranked 'very weak' and the Navy 'weak.' The Marine Corps fared the best, receiving a 'strong' rating
