How inertia and a slavish devotion to the status quo dictate America's nuclear-weapons policy.
The U.S. military tries to be everywhere and do everything. To make cuts, we must make priorities.
Why most Americans will never hear a balanced debate about defense spending.
DoD has forgotten how to prioritize. Shrinking budgets will infuse a long-overdue measure of restraint.
Military budget cuts can induce competition that saves money and improves strategic thought. The national interest is to let the services fight it out.
Opponents of military spending cuts are getting creative. And they won't let facts stand in their way.
We spend too much on our military because we ask our troops to do too much. To spend less, we must do less.
Ignore the fearmongering. Much-maligned budget cuts are little more than legislative sleight of hand.
The debt deal is done. Now the real fighting begins.
Fewer troops + less money + more missions = a hollow force. It simply isn’t realistic to expect a single country to underwrite the security of the entire planet.
