Watching the Watchers: Assessing the Defense Strategy Commission

Melanie, Chris, and Zack debate the findings of the Commission on
the National Defense Strategy. They agree that there is a
mismatch between U.S. defense strategy and the resources required
to execute it, but they disagree on whether and how to adjust the
strategy or resources to align the two. Chris laments the saga of
the failed Gaza pier, Melanie gives an attaboy to Tyler Cowen,
and Zack commends the Ukrainian military for striking a blow
against Russia.
