EXCERPT:

Those who would threaten America’s experiment in democracy must know if you threaten us, it will be your longest and worst day. To implement this strategy, we will invest in key capabilities recognizing we cannot expect success fighting tomorrow’s conflicts with yesterday’s weapons and equipment."
