Due to very large defense cuts, the US no longer has the budget to arm itself against two aggressors at once.The strategy before these cuts was that the armed forces would have a reserve of weapons and soldiers to counteract any attacking force that assumes the country is weak while fighting another war. Now this strategy is no longer able to be used and it now while at war there is no current strategy to replace it as of now.
