US Military Braces for Budget Cuts Amidst Shifting Security Landscape

The US military is preparing for potential budget cuts, as the proposed 'American Jobs Plan' could impact defense spending. This comes amidst a shifting security landscape, economic strain from COVID-19, and the winding down of the war in Afghanistan.

Experts like John Spencer and Steve Leonard have not recently commented on the future funding of US armed forces. However, the Pentagon and defense manufacturers are preparing for a challenging future. The war in Afghanistan, which has lasted for two decades, is nearing its end. Meanwhile, a new book titled '2034: A Novel of the Next World War' explores a fictional future conflict scenario involving the US military. The potential defense budget cuts are being considered due to factors such as national deficits, nontraditional security priorities, and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
