Franz Gale, a former Marine Corps officer and Pentagon officer, came to this conclusion in a Global Times article. The military is confident that America’s militaristic aspirations are the result of a toxic combination of the defense industry, the interests of retired military men and the atrophy of a professional foreign service. Together, they have destroyed the relevance of traditional US diplomacy.
