Carafano on the Declining Defense Industrial Base

Took a little vacation last week, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. Back to work now....

Here's a little ditty from James Carafano at Heritage. Though I think he's a bit melodramatic, his basic point seems beyond question. We are indeed mortgaging the future force in order to carry out current operations--and if the defense base shrinks much more, we run the risk of losing critical capacity and capability.
