America is not ready for a major war, says a bipartisan commission

GENERAL CHARLES “CQ” BROWN, the chairman of the joint chiefs of employees, America’s high army officer, just lately instructed the Aspen Safety Discussion board, a gathering of the nation’s foreign-policy elite, that the nation’s armed forces had been the “most deadly, most revered fight drive on the earth”. Steely-faced, and to jubilant whoops, he declared: “I don’t play for second place.” In actuality, America’s army place is eroding. That’s the message of a report printed on July twenty ninth by a bipartisan fee entrusted by Congress with scrutinising the Biden administration’s nationwide defence technique (NDS), a doc printed two years in the past.
