America’s Top Threats in Space Are Lasers and Nukes -- Defense One
The U.S. thought it won the space race long ago, but no victory lasts forever. On Tuesday, Gen. William Shelton, the commander of Air Force Space Command, speaking at the Atlantic Council, said that U.S. dominance in space will be confronted by some real threats in the years ahead. When Defense One asked what those threats might consist of specifically, he replied jammers, lasers and tactical space nukes.
The nature of these threats hasn’t evolved much since the publication of this 2001 report by the Commission to Assess Untied States National Security Space Management and Organization, chaired by former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

I heard or read that during wargames the Chinese won a war. The wargames have an economic aspect to them now.
If the generals and admirals want to opine, then they should very carefully consider their undergraduate and graduate degrees. Economics should be up there with STEM subjects.
But hey some of our generals are plagiarists.They claim their unethical behavior is the result of PTSD from one IED attack. No one denies the single IED attack (yet). What they don't say is the circumstance surrounding it. If he was seated in an MRAP he was pretty safe. Unless of course the insurgents were using tank mines or something more vicious like double stacking them

He was in an IED attack and no purple heart. He forgot to file, was not hurt or it never happened.
