That may be true, but given the gross inefficiencies in America's defense economy, what would be the cost? The war on terrorism, frequently diminished as a "small" war, has itself drained much of the wealth and energy of America in general and the military establishment in particular. I very much doubt America's ability to effectively to defend its interests abroad against an aggressive great power, specifically China, with defined national interests and an ostensibly coordinated whole-of-government approach to foreign policy. When does the downward trend stop, and what measures are necessary for its reversal?Originally Posted by carl
