Given the budget cuts, lack of training center rotations, and personnel cuts; what worries you most about the future of the Armed Forces?

Sir,

The biggest worry I have is that the next major conflict will pop off and we will be in a position where Soldiers and the Leaders directly over them have not received adequate training to be prepared for something large-scale.

Agreed.  This happens to us after every war and we never seem to learn the lesson.

It is highly unlikely given the steadily diminishing capacity of our military that we will be able to respond as fully as necessary to meet all of our nation's interests. In addition to shear numbers we are losing, but more importantly we are also losing experience that comes from participation in real world events. When the next crisis occurs, we will ramp up by sucking up the unqualified with the well qualified to meet some target manpower number, and then repeat the deadly mistakes born of inexperience again.
