Congressional Panel Finds that U.S. Military Is ‘Not Prepared' for War
2024-07-30
[Breitbart] A report has found that the United States military is "not prepared" to fight in a major war, as "major powers" — such as Russia and China — have become "top threats" to the U.S., with China "outpacing" the U.S.

The report, which the Commission on the National Defense Strategy released in July, reveals that while the U.S. is currently facing some of "the most serious and most challenging" threats since 1945, several problems are preventing the U.S. military from being able to address threats from China or Russia.

Among the problems preventing the U.S. military from addressing threats from China and Russia is reportedly the Department of Defense’s (DOD) "business practices, byzantine research," and its "reliance on decades-old military hardware," which reflects "an era of uncontested military dominance." The report adds that "such methods" are "not suited to today’s strategic environment."

#2  What the US military is prepared for is a lot of 'hut-hut' for the grunts, while the guys with stars figure out how to order gold nicknacks from the defense contractors.
It's the business they're in, and they like it.
