Micahel O'Hanlon, WSJ: Obama's Military Policy: Down-Size While Threats Rise
A deliberate strategy shift to a smaller standing army risks leaving the U.S. unable to fight when necessary.
The Obama administration's official policy on U.S. military ground forces is that they should no longer be sized for possible "large-scale prolonged stability operations." The policy was stated in the administration's 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance, and dutifully reasserted last year in the Pentagon's signature planning document known as the Quadrennial Defense Review.
"Stabilization operations" can include the range of missions spanning counterinsurgency, state-building, large-scale counterterrorism, and large-scale relief activities conducted in anarchic conditions. Though constraints like sequestration have limited the money available for the U.S. military, the Obama policy calling for a smaller standing ground army reflects a deliberate strategy shift and not just a response to cost-cutting, since some other parts of the military are not being reduced.
WNU Editor: I am old enough to remember when the U.S. had a policy of being able to fight two major wars at once .... now .... it looks like they may have a problem on handling just one.
KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...
A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.
"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".
Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"
The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."
And so it is with life.
What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.
Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.
Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)
LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.
Have a beautiful Week !
