The Military May Be Sacrificing Too Much in the Name of Global Presence

Here is one of the the underlying conflicts between Mobly and Capt. Crozier that I knew was there…Crozier looking at his ship’s combat readiness—as he should have—while Mobly was focused on international deterrence, with its extremely high cost to the American budget at the expense of domestic programs. Offshoots of Teddy Roosevelt’s ”gunboat diplomacy.” Maybe, just maybe, enough such occurrences might force the DoD to heavily modify its “global-presence” concept to free up much-needed dollars to more appropriate domestic programs! ~ Don Chapin
