"America At Risk: Is U.S. Military On Path To Becoming Hollow Force?"
Thursday, May 9, 2013
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
The Harmonie Club
4 East 60th Street
New York, NY

PANEL DISCUSSION: The U.S. military is the most trained, professional, and powerful fighting force in the world, but signs are it is on the path to becoming a "hollow" force, i.e., a force that lacks sufficient capabilities to field trained and ready forces, conduct current missions, meet security commitments, and prepare for future threats. A military lacking in these things is a military that cannot provide for the common defense. Our distinguished guest panelists will discuss what a hollow force means for U.S. national security and what, if anything, can be done to prevent it. |
Notable Quotables
"It was the Palestinian mob that prevented Abu Akleh’s funeral from progressing to the church by hearse as the family had wanted. It was the mob that took the body without authorization, which forced Israeli Police to intervene with force to have them return the body to the hospital. Once returned, the body was transported to the church in the hearse under Israeli protection according to plan."
~ Itamar Marcus, Founder and Director of Palestinian Media Watch, on the hijacking of Shireen Abu Akleh's funeral (more here).
