What connection is there, if any, between U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris promising to ensure that the U.S. has "...the most lethal fighting force in the world" (see video at :23; August 22, 2024) and #Drumph's Pentagon claiming the same thing: "...and all personnel, including Matt McNitt, reflect the administration’s shared mission to ensure our military is the most lethal fighting force in the world.”(August 5, 2025; Phila Inquirer, p. 4)?
What is better framing for a democratically-minded, peace-oriented military?
