 US Army Is Scrutinizing Itself, Must Change Swiftly to Face China, Secretary Says
“The future is a lot closer than some of us think,” Christine Wormuth said at AUSA.

The U.S. Army is analyzing its force structure, infrastructure, modernization programs, and readiness in a bid to figure out how it can best focus its limited resources to deter or if necessary fight China, its toughest near-peer challenger since the Cold War, the service secretary said Monday.

“We're going to have to look hard at everything we do and everything about how we do,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said during the opening ceremony of the Association of the United States Army’s 2021 annual meeting and exposition. “This work will not be easy, but it is needed. And given the challenges ahead, we may have to accept some risk now to avoid greater risk in the future.”

The data gathered during the analysis will help the Army figure out how it will fight and in what theatres, what capabilities to focus on, and also the performance of the new modernization programs, Wormuth said during a news conference Monday.

Indeed they do!  They aren't getting the troops to work hard enough on the important things for a military:  Critical Race Theory, white rage studies, Political Correctness, and purging itself of conservative white extremists.  *****rollingeyes*****

For starters, they could get rid of some people at the top who would telegraph every punch...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@Smokin Joe

Please allow me to be the first to suggest they get rid of them by hanging them for treason. I am even willing to buy the rope.

I'd put up half! Rope isn't cheap, but it is reusable.

With the stretch factor, it would be a question of how many 'bounces' before they just swing...

"Step right up! and put'cher money down.

How low will he go?

C'mon folks this is a stout one...

Double the odds if he breaks the rope! "

But some people will bet on anything.
