Revise US military strategy now!

Having done military planning, I agree with MG Vallely.

'Those who have been taught strategic planning in any formalized military school know that such planning should be accomplished through a systematic methodology of "reverse planning."

This means, prior to anything being written, an end-state must be identified. Once the end-state is identified, it is then – and only then – that the decision makers can make a determination and a plan may be written to achieve the overall task. Then, the end-state can be accomplished through smaller operational and tactical objectives with sound benchmarks and timelines.'
