Well, we made that mistake once already. Remember, we thought “the Cold War is over, we don’t need to spend money on Intelligence or the Military. That worked out real well didn’t it?

The world is changing fast, power is shifting and we can’t be left without adequate defenses.

Part of being a player is working the board.

You know what mistake we also made? Continuing to build Cold War era weapons to fight an enemy that no longer exists. When your enemy can’t even field an air force, what good are air-superiority fighters? Or next generation tanks when your enemy’s most advanced vehicles are pickup trucks with machine gun mounts welded in?
