Take a gander at Peter Fever's article if you haven't read the new National Military Strategy. He brings up some good points.

It is like he is saying "good luck with that"... "In a new National Military Strategy, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warns the Pentagon to reorganize its global footprint to combat prolonged battles of terrorism and proxy wars.
