US military getting weaker; Navy 'weak', Air Force even worse says Heritage study (americanmilitarynews.com)

A new strength assessment by the Heritage Foundation sees the U.S. military is growing weaker and weaker as it continues to face an “aggressive” set of threats and challenges around the world.

On Tuesday, the Heritage Foundation released its annual U.S. Military Strength assessment. The conservative think tank gave the overall U.S. military a “weak” rating, with the U.S. Marines rated as “strong,” the U.S. Army as “marginal,” the U.S. Navy as “weak” and the U.S. Air Force as “very weak.”

The Heritage foundation gave the Army and Marine Corps virtually the same strength scores as last year, but the Navy and Air Force slipped from their scores last year of “marginal” and “weak,” respectively.

The foundation said the Navy’s “worrisome” decline in strength last year is “driven by problems in capacity (‘very weak’) and readiness (‘weak’).”
