I've noticed how all the talk about irreparably damaging our military is now curiously absent from the media discourse. The truth is, we now have a proven, battle hardened fighting force that is more experienced, disciplined and lethal that at any other time in our history.
Granted, we have significant equipment degradation that needs to urgently be addressed. But the "health" of our human assets is excellent. We have NCO's and officers that are well equipped to lead our military into the first half of the new century.
