The Pentagon's acquisition process is broken

The Pentagon’s acquisition process is broken, and the nation may be running out of time to fix it.

Former Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) recently warned that the United States “has two years to prevent World War III” with China. Gallagher noted that Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for defense secretary, will confront “a deteriorating balance of power in the Indo-Pacific.” To ensure peace, Hegseth and his team must “go to war on day one — not with China, Russia or Iran but with the Pentagon bureaucracy.”
