The Guide to Radically Revamping The US Military?
Robb points his GG readers to John Arquilla’s upcoming book: Our Own Worst Enemy: The Reluctant Transformation of the American Military .
Worst Enemy offers an inside analysis of the events that have derailed our efforts to transform the nation’s military into a leaner, lighter, and much more networked force. Mr. Arquilla places these events in historical context and assesses Donald Rumsfeld’s role as secretary of defense of the post-9/11 era. Beyond articulating a thorough critique of what has gone wrong, he outlines new solutions, in detail, to remedy the ills that beset American defense policy, including:
- Elimination of the Pentagon
- The end of strategic bombing strategy
- Force reductions to 100,000 in each of the main services
Sounds like a winner.
