Times have changed. So one of the assistants but a big one, deputy Secretary Hicks went to West Point to have sit downs round table discussions on…. Climate change, energy conservation and how climate change will affect military in the future.

So no opportunity to discuss strategy on Ukraine or understand how the U.S. is changing in NATO or any equivalent or vehicle platform strategies. Must have been great discussions which may have helped shape future lectures and class instruction. Future generals will remark on this new found wisdom when they were in their final years of education.

Well, in all fairness, in the history of this planet, people have gone to war lots of times over the resources the other guy has but they do not.


If one country is in famine because his grain harvest failed (take your choice to why) but the country next door is fat and happy because they have the resources of a coast line.......country #2 better be expecting an invasion.

Did you see the video of Trump entering the stadium full of what looked to be cadets? The reception he got was phenomenal. Maybe that's why the focus is on them now.
