Rebuilding Americas' Defenses






"Keeping the American peace requires the U.S. military to undertake a broad array of missions today and rise to very different challenges tomorrow, but there can be no retreat from these missions without compromising American leadership and the benevolent order it secures.  This is the choice we face.  It is not a choice between preeminence today and preeminence tomorrow.  Global leadership is not something exercised at our leisure, when the mood strikes us or when our core national security interests are directly
threatened
; then it is already too late. Rather, it is a choice whether or not to maintain American military preeminence, to secure American geopolitical leadership, and to preserve the American peace."

Devo dizer que foi uma leitura interessante.
