Lt. Col. Robert Bateman, Why A Larger Navy And A Smaller Army Just Isn’t A Good Idea:
We have recently seen a spate of news over the past two to three weeks talking about how the United States Army will soon shrink down to its lowest level since the beginning of World War Two. Now we are starting to see op-eds proposing an even more profound emasculation of the United States Army on the basis that ground forces will not be needed in the future.
This is not a good idea.
