Another Major Report on Our Military's Unreadiness

“Last I checked, there’s no charging stations for electric tanks in Ukraine, or in Africa, or really anywhere else in the world. And also, last I checked, our enemies aren’t worried about how diverse our squadrons are.”
So said Florida Congressman and former special operator Michael Waltz, who recently delivered bitter but necessary medicine not only to the U.S. military brass but also to Congress and to the American people. “Never once, as a Green Beret calling in air support,” he continued, “did any of my Green Berets worry about the sexual orientation of the pilot, or race, religion, socioeconomic background. I can guarantee you, our enemies’ bullets and enemy fighter pilots aren’t worried about that either. The only thing they’re worried about is whether we’re American or not, of whether we are capable of defending ourselves and defeating them or not.”
Waltz, who chairs the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness, had plenty more to say both during an hour-long panel discussion and in a lengthy Heritage Foundation report on military service and readiness.
