In a military conflict today, the soldiers of the United States are the gold standard in a battle. Why is this? Because the U.S. has a commitment to thorough preparation. As a result, our soldiers are among the most adaptable, the most disciplined, and most skilled military leaders of our time. The same soldiers can carry out a conventional attack, then be able to take action as a military policeman, then act as a guard, and do all of them well. Because there is a commitment to preparation, the soldier can thrive given most any mission.
