I read Matthew Woessner’s piece “In Defense of War Colleges” in RealClearDefense with the same disappointment I feel watching senior leaders defend a broken system instead of fixing it.
As a Naval War College graduate, a 32-year combat veteran who rose from enlisted EOD tech to wing commander, and someone who’s seen the downstream effects of what these institutions are producing, let me be blunt:
The war colleges aren’t “remaining focused on educating military leaders to fight and win the nation’s wars.

The Republic of China Ministry of National Defence’s unprecedented investments in arms procurements from the United States have drawn growing scrutiny from lawmakers domestically, with criticisms increasingly encompassing not only the extreme delays to deliveries which have hampered military modernisation efforts, but also the cost effectiveness and viability of much of the equipment on order.
Following the release of satellite images indicating that the AN/TPY-2 X-band mobile radar system from the U.S. Army THAAD anti-ballistic missile system had been destroyed in an Iranian drone strike,an anonymous individual on March 7 posted photos providing confirmation, showing the radar destroyed. The radar system was stationed at Muwafak Salti Air Base in Jordan. The destruction of the radar is expected to significantly reduce the utility of THAAD systems to provide defence against Iranian missile attacks.
South Korean sources revealed on March 5 that over 1,000 guided bomb kits were shipped to the U.S. mainland from military facilities inKorea in mid-December 2025, as part of what analysts have widely interpreted as large scale preparations for the initiation of a large scale military assault against Iran. These kits consist of GPS or laser guidance devices and control wings, which can be attached to gravity bombs to allow them to strike targets with high levels of precision. Each kit costs $20,000-55,000 making them significantly less costly than other kinds of guided weapons.
The U.S. Navy Nimitz Class nuclear powered supercarrier USS George H. W. Bush has been dispatched to the Middle East, where it is expected to support the currently ongoing war effort against Iran. The George H. W. Bush is one of the Navy’s two newest carriers, with the only newer vessel, the USS Gerald Ford, having was arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean hours before the U.S. and Israeli initiated attacks on February 28.
United Stated officials speaking to the Washington Post have reported that Russia has been supplying Iran with intelligence on the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships, aircraft, and bases in the Middle East. This follows the U.S. and Israel’s initiation of a full scale military campaign against Iran on February 28, which Iranian forces have responded to by launching large scale ballistic missile strikes on military and other strategic targets across the region.
