it is incredibly important, especially as we look at our threats abroad and what is going on with our adversaries--China, Russia, Iran, North Korea--that our military is focused on developing and training and developing warfighters.

I describe it as a loose collection of progressive political ideas that are constantly thrust upon our institutions.
