Military preparedness is absolutely a form of strength.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Military strength in reserve is better than military strength being reigned upon the other side including all of its innocent civilians.
Throughout the history of our young nation, we have seen our military go bravely into battle, armed with courage and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Today nearly every combat brigade located within the United States would report that they are not ready for duty. They are at the lowest levels of readiness.
To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.
Morale is good; troops are confident; leaders are capable.
Training a reliable military force that adheres to Western norms and standards is the work of a generation, not a few months.
But courage which goes against military expediency is stupidity, or, if it is insisted upon by a commander, irresponsibility.
Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.
Before they deploy, they train for the specific operations, but there is a danger that the Army is not retaining the core of its full capabilities.
It won't be a question of how well-trained or well-equipped the army is but one of the authority it serves.
