Daniel Goure: Attempts to downplay growing Russian military threat won’t wash
Thankfully, the Russian military is not ten feet tall. No one said it is. But that is the way some unnamed "senior Pentagon officials" want to spin the legitimate concerns of senior military officers regarding the challenges posed by the improved capabilities of a rapidly modernizing Russian military. It is even worse when some in the media try not only to make such a case but to demean the reputation and honesty of a military officer who is courageously attempting to get the Obama Administration and the American people to take seriously a growing threat to our national security and that of our allies.
