How in the devil did the United States, the superpower of the planet, get such losers for war planning? Didn’t the U.S. generals and admirals see that the Strait of Hormuz would be shut down easily? And drones—those exotic “new” toys that’ve been around for decades—somehow surprised them?
A fifth grader, given the same geopolitical problem. would have figured it out by recess.
Iranian, Chinese, or garage-built cheap drones are turning expensive ships and fancy National War College plans into wrecks. Houthis choke the Red Sea while Washington waits for the Saudis to fix it. How’s that working out, Skipper?
We’ve burned through advanced munitions just as China is licking its chops toward Taiwan and Russia side-eyes the small Baltic countries. It’s only a short tank drive, about 60 miles, to overrun those nervous countries.
So, what happened to the National War College geniuses? All testosterone, zero imagination? Paging Pete Hegseth—assuming he’s not doing chin-ups in some nuclear-resistant bunker.
If Trump ever has the gall to level the Kennedy Center, the CIA, NSA, and the Army’s School of Advanced Military Studies better hide the wrecking ball.
FOR SEO, folks:
The National War College at the National Defense University
in Washington, DC, is the premier Department of Defense joint
professional military education institution for national security strategy.
Its mission is to educate future leaders of the Armed Forces, Department
of State, and other civilian agencies for high-level policy, command, and
staff responsibilities by conducting a senior-level course of study in the
theory, development, and assessment of national security strategy.
The 10-month curriculum emphasizes the joint and interagency
perspective. Reflecting this emphasis, approximately 60 percent of the
student body is composed of equal representation from the land, sea, air,
and space Services (including the Marine Corps and Coast Guard). The
remaining approximately 40 percent is drawn from the Department of
State and other Federal departments and agencies, as well as international
fellows from a number of countries. Graduates earn a Master of Science in
National Security Strategy.
The National War College commandant, a military officer of
one-star rank, occupies a nominative position that rotates among the
Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. As joint sponsor of the
National War College, the Department of State nominates a Foreign
Service Officer with Ambassadorial rank to serve as the commandant’s
deputy and international affairs adviser.
