Debating the National Defense Strategy

Is the National Defense Strategy actually a strategy? Melanie,
Chris, and Zack debate the Biden administration’s recently
released National Defense Strategy. Do integrated deterrence,
campaign, and enduring advantage add up to more than the sum of
their parts? Does the unclassified version of the National
Defense Strategy make any hard choices to connect ends and means?
Melanie commends those U.S. service members who evacuated
thousands of people from Afghanistan. Chris complains about
incessant political advertisements ahead of the midterm
elections. And Zack thanks his teammates from the Alliance for
Securing Democracy.
