With aging equipment, a lack of adequate funding, and limited production capabilities, the U.S. military is ranked "marginal" at best. That\\u2019s the conclusion of the 2022 Index of U.S. Military Strength, an annual report from The Heritage Foundation that assesses the status of the military and the global threat level to the United States, which was released Wednesday.
"It\'s right there on the edge. It could handle one major war for, we believe, a limited period of time, but it couldn\'t do anything other than that," said Dakota Wood, the lead editor of the index and a senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation\'s Center for National Defense. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
Wood joins \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to discuss the findings of the latest index.
