We are Recklessly "Not Prepared" for War

For decades after World War II, the U.S. military was sensibly required to be able to fight and win two major wars in different parts of the world simultaneously. After Ronald Reagan bloodlessly defeated the Soviet Union, that requirement steadily shrank.

 

A new, congressionally mandated report says that, under the Biden-Harris administration, America’s armed forces are now not “prepared” to fight even a single major conflict. In the words of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, “The U.S. military lacks both the capabilities and the capacity required to be confident it can deter and prevail in combat.”

 

Unfortunately, “not prepared” would be an even more apt description for our homeland security, thanks in part to the administration’s admission of countless thousands of Chinese soldiers and jihadists.

 

We must pray there’s time for accountability this November – and urgent corrective action thereafter.
