James M. Talent: “I think success means protecting the American homeland, the territorial integrity of allies, the economy, from attacks.”

I could not agree more with what Michele was saying about we need a whole-of-government approach to these competitions.

I certainly agree that these are vital concerns, given the power of cyber weapons, their escalatory potential, and the downside consequences of a miscalculation.

More than ever, the U.S. military must fully engage the entirety of American society, not only to expand the military's access to talent, but to also reconnect the Nation to its military.

I am concerned that this is real and that they are, the latest developments are reflective of what is actually happening and that they may be well ahead of us.
