What if there had never been a Joint Strike Fighter? (Part 1)

By James Hasik

The US Navy could have spent mad money on drones. This month, the US Marine Corps declared that its first squadron of F-35Bs had reached “initial operating capability”.

What’s your face-punched plan?

By James Hasik

Recovery from battlefield surprise requires more than fingers-crossed strategy. Last month, the Pentagon released the 2015 version of its National Military Strategy. As a real Pentagon strategist reminded me, the Pentagon doesn’t really post its real strategy on the Web as a PDF. But even this public relations exercise was disconcerting in its telegraphed inflexibility. The document waxes on about […]

Like Cars, Like Cargo Ships

By James Hasik

North Americans are really uneconomical shipbuilders, and their navies should demand better. Ford announced this week that the company will stop building small cars in Michigan, or anywhere in the States, as price pressure precludes paying workers what’s worth their while. Ford will build its new Lincoln Continental in Michigan, but that’s because the profit […]

How often have we heard that refrain? I did again in April, when US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter insisted in Palo Alto that “we need the creativity and innovation that comes from […]
