I believe this article by Robert Gates, current and continuing Secretary of Defense, represents why he will continue as Barack Obama's defense secretary for at least a little while. A previous post on this weblog talked about the idea of centrism, and I believe that Gates' article represents one of the most centrist presentations on the current and future military I have read in years.
My concern is that very few people are listening to the very practical and forward thinking ideas Gates presents. Without a balanced approach to how we defend ourselves, we risk losing our way in long wars and short ones in the years to come.
