Compelling questions indeed. These issues will no doubt dominate the agenda of both the incoming and future Sec. Defs.
It is clear that the old approach is not the answer. We don't need 2 or 6 million active duty servicemen. It is clear that we need to drastically modernize and reform our military institutions.
The new weapons systems already in the pipeline to replace old and obsolete materiel are but one minor aspect of this modernization imperative.
