I think in general he is right. Our services are too small. Our Navy is only 270 ships now. It used to be 600 ships. They are closing bases right and left. We are not even ready to close the Mexican border with what we have. God help us if North Korea or China attacks. We can only respond with nukes. This reminds me of the period after WWI when our forces went down to almost nothing. Shinseki was right about Iraq. Rumsfeld killed the Army as much as anyone.
Yep. He was very stubborn about expanding the force, now we are paying for that.
