TL;DR: The continuing debate surrounding the allocation of the American defense budget suggests that the new administration in Washington, although committed to strengthening American military capability, has yet to clarify in its own mind just what capabilities it wishes to strengthen as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The continuing debate surrounding the allocation of the American defense budget suggests that the new administration in Washington, although committed to strengthening American military capability, has yet to clarify in its own mind just what capabilities it wishes to strengthen. While they seem to agree that strategic nuclear forces need to be increased it appears that this agreement is based on a failure to thoroughly analyze and select weapons systems and tactical postures that conform realistically to the types of war that the United States is likely to be called upon to fight in the next two decades.
