ANALYSIS/OPINION:

The United States is going to lose the next major war. That’s what the U.S. Navy’s top enlisted sailor, Senior Chief Gunner’s Mate Norman Mingo, assessed about the Navy’s tactical capabilities. According to him, “The Navy is prepared for inspections, not war.”

Norman Mingo’s analysis is hardly unique these days.

In fact, across the United States armed forces there’s a collection of disturbing reports indicating breakdowns in training, practices, standards and capabilities — all of which could result in America getting beaten by one of its great power rivals in war.

The Department of Defense has rightly identified the People’s Republic of China as the No. 1 near-peer strategic competitor that the United States will face in the years ahead. Already, China’s seemingly inexorable rise has disrupted the international order. As China continues to exert its increased power and influence around the world, conflicts between itself and the existing superpower, the United States, are coming to the fore.

Where did the author get the idea those issues are important or have meaning to Uncle Joe?  Those aren't really issues to Uncle Joe when he has global warming and PC growth in the military to lose sleep over.  And why should Russia or China worry about the US military and the expense of a potential war when, with the advice and consent of congress,  the approval of the president, and the masterful destruction of it's power by the Sec. of Defense,  the military will wither away and become completely useless?
