Valin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The Foundry: Luke Coffey January 24, 2013 During his inauguration address, President Obama proclaimed: “We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.” While Obama’s choice of words may sound well in an inaugural address, they do not accurately recognize the real threats America faces in the world. (Snip) What the President fails to appreciate is that war is not just mobilizing divisions of armies, fleets of ships, and squadrons of planes onto a linear battlefield. War in the 21st century is often asymmetric, convoluted, and complex. Like it or not, America is in a long war that will last decades. Saying otherwise is misleading. Thinking otherwise is dangerous. (Snip) Now, heading into his second term, he is misleading the American people into thinking that the security challenges America faces is simply down to one of two choices: “perpetual war” or “lasting peace.” This is a false dichotomy. Unless we stay prepared for the former, we can never have the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
