Facing the Future | Does Our Defense Budget Match Our Strategy?

This week on Facing the Future, host Bob Bixby shares excerpts from a recent Concord Action webinar on defense spending featuring Todd Harrison of the American Enterprise Institute and Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution. They discuss how defense dollars are allocated, whether the proposed increase to $1.5 trillion reflects an actual strategy, what drone warfare means for the cost of conflict, and whether the U.S. military is overstretched.
