Prepared by CDI's Straus Military Reform Project, "America's Defense Meltdown" is a military reform anthology for the incoming Obama administration, prepared by 13 non-partisan Pentagon insiders, retired military officers and defense analysts. 

It lays out for the new president, Congress and the "think-tank" community in Washington a description of the scope and depth of our national defense problems, and - more importantly - it proposes solutions derived from the nature of the problems, rather than the willingness - or lack thereof - among politicians and bureaucrats in the Pentagon and Congress to address them.
