Summary: The author presents an overall assessment of the military needs of US global "defense" strategies, echoing recent calls to increase the number of uniformed forces, including "stabilization" forces. Focusing on budgetary concerns, he analyzes the costs and benefits of various military options, including reinstatement of the draft, increasing the capacity of allied military forces, and scaling back on overly ambitious weapons modernization programs. "Offers pragmatic policy recommendations for strengthening the U.S. military's ability to respond to international crises, with engagement or deterrence, and protect American citizens while maintaining fiscal responsibility, by expanding ground forces yet containing spending, modernizing weaponry, implementing privatization and reform, and encouraging burden sharing with allies"--Provided by publisher
