Awareness and Readiness: A Call to Action

The current geopolitical landscape indicates a heightened risk of great power conflict, marking a period of urgency unseen since 1945. The United States armed forces are inadequately prepared for these emerging threats, suffering from systemic issues in procurement and management. A lack of resources and poor leadership has also contributed to these deficiencies, while national leaders have failed to adequately inform and educate the American populace about the genuine dangers faced. This situation serves as a significant warning for future generations, highlighting the shortcomings of recent policymakers, who are compared unfavorably to historical figures known for their decisive actions.
