What changes would you like to see our next President make to improve our military?

Articulate a clear end state and goals for the missions we are sent on. That would solve so many problems that we see today.

The President cannot do it alone...The entire Defense organization, from the Joint Chiefs, down to the newest recruit at MEPS has to adopt a new attitude and philosophy. We need to stop chipping away at our fighting spirit in favor of "politics". We need to stop adjusting "culture" to suit manning requirements, and return to adjusting incoming personnel to our culture. We need to fight to win...not maintain. Equipment won't fix lack of spirit and drive. We need leaders who will lead from the front, put their necks out, and make proactive decisions-on the battlefield, and in the barracks. At the end of the day, when all is said and done, the first mission of the military is to kill and defeat the enemies of our nation efficiently, consistently, and professionally. Anything that deters from that needs to be chucked over the side...

Actually listen to the personnel in charge of the military and not hamstring them in the execution of their missions.
