And what does this say about our strategic readiness, and what that means for our national security? Jeff is joined by Will Thibeau, former Army Ranger and defense policy authority to discuss this troubling, important issue.

    I had heard that recruitment goals were being met.  I didn’t know that the services had reduced their recruiting goals by ten percent.
