A Strategy-Budget Mismatch?

Melanie, Chris, and Zack debate the National Defense Strategy —
at least the unclassified details that are currently available.
Does the professed strategy align with the budget? What, if
anything, appears to be new and different in the Biden team’s
approach? And what does it say that strategy documents are being
rewritten but budget decisions have already been made? Chris
laments student loan forgiveness. Melanie thanks some departed
leaders. And Zack congratulates academics heading into government
service.
