"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
"There’s much to be thankful for about how things ended last week in Texas, and about the outpouring of love and support, across faiths, for a little Jewish community. But the wise counsel for Jews is to be grateful for last week’s good luck, while taking it as a warning that our luck in America may run out."
~ Bret Stephens, prolific journalist, author and op-ed writer, in "What an Antisemite's Fantasy Says About Jewish Reality" (more here).
