US Large reserve Military vs. Flexible Response


Recommended Posts

I'm curious on opinions re thus approach vis a vis armored forces capabilities, readiness and institutional learning ing/memory. 

Russia maintains a very large, but low quality reserve system, I believe? But here, he is suggesting a large, high quality reserve. 

Seems feasible, technically.

I suspect the MIC will round the author up and have him shot for "Defeatism" before too long.  ;)

TBH any article that starts with Eisenhower's "Chance For Peace" has a fair chance of being a good idea (& upsetting the MIC), this one is actually better than most.....But in the current political climate?  :unsure:
