Pentagon Official: The Facts Are In, And Obama’s Policy Is A Direct Danger
To The United States:
"Joseph Miller is the pen name for a ranking Department of Defense official with a
background in U.S. special operations and combat experience in Iraq and
Afghanistan. He has worked in strategic planning.
The report is in, and the review of the president’s foreign policy is clear: If there is
not an immediate course-reversal, the United States is in serious danger.
In 2013, the United States Institute for Peace, “a congressionally-created,
independent, nonpartisan institution whose mission is to prevent, mitigate, and
resolve violent conflicts around the world,” was asked to assist the National
Defense Panel with reviewing the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). The
National Defense Panel is a congressional-mandated bipartisan commission that’s
co-chairs were appointed by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
On July 31, the National Defense Panel released its long-awaited report on the
effects of the QDR and delivered its findings to Congress. The panel pulled no
punches — its findings were a scathing indictment of Obama’s foreign policy,
national security policy, and defense policy. The panel found that president Barack
Obama’s QDR, military force reductions, and
trillion-dollar defense budget cuts are
dangerous — and will leave the country in a position where it is unable to
respond to threats to our nation’s security. This, the panel concluded, must be
reversed as soon as possible.
In particular, the report addresses the need for the administration to return to
the flexible response doctrine — a policy where the military was tasked with being
capable of fighting two wars at the same time. Given the current state of affairs
and the threats posed to our nation, the panel felt that the two-war doctrine was
still required to meet our nation’s national security challenges. The man-power
reductions and budget cuts are both reflections of this change in policy, so it must
be altered before that is possible."
