Michael Auslin's AEI Report on The Indo-Pacific Commons
Michael Auslin's produced a superb bit of thinking on how the US should conduct itself in what he calls the "Indo-Pacific" Commons. The calls for enhanced naval presence in this part of the world have become a relentless drumbeat; we cannot ignore it, we cannot bury our heads in the sand and simply dole out equal cuts to each Armed Service as we seek to get our financial house in order. We must properly fund that element of military power most closely related to protecting and sustaining our position of global leadership.
I am a forty-something year-old graduate of the University of Virginia. I spent a career on active duty in the US Navy, including command of a destroyer. During that time, I kept my political views largely to myself. Those days are over.
