John A. Davis: “I am concerned with our current readiness rates both in equipment and personnel.”

I believe that states now see an opportunity to leverage non-state entities in a variety of ways to fundamentally undermine and gain an advantage over Western democracies in general.

We want to be fed out of the same spoon. We want to be treated fairly and equally.

Unfortunately, many of them tell me that 'nobody from the State has ever asked me how to accomplish this.'

I think that the presumption that all wisdom and knowledge emanates from our Nation's Capital or our State's capital is an erroneous one.
