Stevenson’s army, January 21
– NYT says Treasury wants to reclaim the Secret Service from its current place in Homeland Security. I bet many of the 21 other components of DHS would like to return to their prior home.
– DOD wants to reduce Africom size and activities. The command is now touting its value, and Congress may resist the cuts
– WSJ foresees a global split over technology, US from China.
-The executive branch just isn’t filling its key jobs.
– Be sure to look at these new articles by SAIS profs: Prof. Gavin on how to understand the nature of the world order [or disorder], and Barno & Bensahel on US vulnerability to drones.
