U.S. military forces are neglected, too small, and worn-out, warns new Heritage Foundation report
Nov. 7, 2022
Economic inflation and sustained hard use are causing degradation in military as neglect persists in DOD budgets, replacement weapons, and upgrades.
NASHUA, N.H. – The U.S. military is in dire need of money, effort, and resources to reverse a trend toward neglect, mediocrity, and obsolescence in the face of aggressive world adversaries like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, according to a report released last month from the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank in Washington.
The report, 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, says the U.S. Air Force is very weak, the Navy and Space Force are weak, and the Army is marginal in their abilities to fight effectively in future two-front wars. Only the U.S. Marine Corps and nuclear forces are considered to be strong.
