Dakota Wood and his team at the Heritage Foundation has taken on the task of assessing U.S. Military Strength. A complete download of the project's report is available here. Of particular interest to me was the discussion begun on page 251, which includes a deft, understandable (to non-navalists), discussion of why Navy force structure planning is different from the other Services by the very nature of what it is we ask the Navy to do in peace AND war.

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.
