#1 We attrited our strategic lift and green transportation trace over the past 20 years. We had to contract it our during this last mess. And transportation was a mess.

#2 The formalization of the Bataan strategy. Too far to reinforce adequately, too small to hold out long. We go nuke or accept the lost. Expendable troopies not consulted. How about trashing the 1950s strategy and deploy troops according to the ability of the region to defend itself, if it want to.

Well, the non-deployed force is big enough to move to the Mexican border where it may actually be useful in defending the United States.

I believe an attachment under jurisdictional control of the Border Patrol might actually be legal. Same, same use of the Navy littoral by the Coast Guard.

#4 Budget Wars and the US Army wants a bigger slice of the pie and to defend the larger share the WOT build-up paid for...

Strategy Question: can you solidify a pile of snot with BBs?
