I have a different take on this...this guy was high up the DOD food chain.
He has been retired for almost 10 years.
I would guess he works for or has been a consultant to a large defense contractor.
Dwight D. Eisenhower ended his presidential term by warning the nation about the increasing power of the military-industrial complex.
This guy is trying to get more funding for the military-industrial complex.
Just my opinion.
Pretty good opinion, if you ask me.
A competent Navy keeps a weather eye on land war issues. Who do you think has to transport major units? And support invasions. And a competent Army pays attention to sea concerns. There’s nothing odd about the Navy getting concerned about the Army’s stockpiles. Especially since the Marines will have to come clean up the mess.
