Very good article.
I think most will recall how the Milt. was allowed to be depleted to the point planes, for example, were grounded due to the lack of spare parts. I guess Obama did not care that much about Nat'l. Defense or meeting our other defense commitments overseas.

You need to consider National Guard and Reserve units also. They also are being upgraded

Sorry, didn’t mean to leave out any active units. I said “Active Duty” as opposed to veterans like myself who don’t see the actual machinations of any upgrades to military.

Sgt (Join to see) I see what is written. But, the human factors that are involved us the "loss of life" and "permanent disabilities", so one the one hand I think the active military is awe inspired by the shoring up of weaknesses. On the other hand, I can't imagine that any (maybe a few) are accepting that what comes next may be much boots on the ground Carnage. Yes, the US is gearing up for some nasty fire fights, but that means the hotter the battle the more die.

I agree that it’s preferred that US be less involved in conflicts and wars when possible ( let nations secure themselves ) but I am pleased with our increased military strength for our country’s own defense.
