On November 1, [Retired/Former] US Marine Corps Lieutenant General Michael Groen, non-resident senior fellow at Forward Defense, authored an op-ed for the Cipher Brief detailing the risk of US defeat in the competition for “innovation power.” In the op-ed, Groen argues that “innovation power” is a crucial feature of US economic and national security, but over-regulatory agendas pose a serious risk to American competitiveness.
