I believe the bottom line of the UK report is just as applicable to the US Navy and the US Armed Forces in general. Billary and Hillary did not hide their contempt for U.S. forces; they gutted the numbers and capabilties of the Armed Forces and Intel forces for some inexplicable reason.

Had they not eliminated so much of the Military’s capabilities, we would have been able to field a much more decisive effort against OBL while still maintaining the ability to contest two or more other sizable efforts elsewhere.
