Donald
Trump's policy position on the US military has not received much attention
during the primary season, but to my knowledge the other candidates’ positions
haven’t been highlighted either. Most of the candidates’ plans are seem
to be reasonable, but do not address the critical problem, and that is a huge
contractor warfighting capability has enabled US executive action to fight our
wars divorced from both a sound national strategy and a connection to the
American people. If
Trump’s plan outlined below is correct,* it shows that Trump has the right
approach to return America's military strength to a traditional element of our
national strategy to serve the interests of Americans.
Warning:
This is not an old Cold War debate of bombers vs. day care centers, rather it
gets to heart of how we fight our wars: (via Conservative
Treehouse):
Trump believes the collaborative private/government sector
military partnership should be limited to the modernization of equipment and
material (research and development), and never the deployment of soldiers or
U.S. fighting forces. (snip) ... our soldiers should never be deployed
through the use of private contractors who operate within a grey area, and
whose objectives can become detached and end up serving their own best
interests.
