Budgetary Tunnel Vision
January 18th, 2007 General

I’m still not totally sure what I think with the Afghanistan mission, so I will spare you my direct musings on it for today. But what is clear is that the focus on it comes at the expense of other abilities of our armed forces. Tightening of the belt’s are useful exercises, but I would suggest that sacrificing sovereignty and  other  similar patrols is probably not an avenue that we want to go down.  We have the longest coastline in the world, it doesn’t seem to make much sense to keep what few coastal patrol vessels we have tied to a pier.
