About this title

Synopsis

This volume details a possible derailment and train wreck in U.S. defense spending. Today the Department of Defense faces annual budget shortfalls of $100 billion--far more than the much discusses $5-$25 billion. If actions are not taken now to prevent this train wreck, future presidents and congresses will have little time to fix a disaster that will be far more costly than necessary. The authors argue that current DOD underspending is a sure paath to de facto demobilization and diminished capacity to influence world events and safeguard U.S. national interests.
