The Biden administration’s defense approach recalls the Old West phrase describing a cowboy who talked big without the ability to back it up
— “all hat, no cattle.” While the administration has rightly noted the rapidly growing risks to U.S. security, it thus far has neither presented (let alone pursued) a clear strategy nor advocated allocating the resources needed to truly address them.
I would like tentatively to share the insights and analysis by Mr. Andrew F. Krepinevich, Junior, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute, and also serves as president and chief executive officer of Solarium LLC, a defense consulting firm, and as an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, and Mr. Elbridge Colby, a Guest Contributor.
Their commentary originally appeared in the National Review.
