That war isn&#8217;t happening in the Asia-Pacific region, so why didn&#8217;t you mention the war we&#8217;re waging in the Middle East and Africa at the moment. I&#8217;d also ask the Secretary if he&#8217;s aware that actual training for war might be a rational soldier&#8217;s priority.<\/p>\n<p>But this list is nothing more than a politician&#8217;s wish list. of course, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;d expect from McHugh &#8211; his only experience with the military is his successful and laudable battle to keep Fort Drum open while he was a Congressman of that district. But it was only for political reasons as Fort Drum was the largest employer of Jefferson County, NY.<\/p>\n<p>But these aren&#8217;t the priorities of a &#8220;Defense Department&#8221;, they&#8217;re more like the priorities of the EPA or the Interior Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was just talking with TSO the other day about John McHugh, the Army Secretary.
