One of the greatest threats to national security is the outdated social and economic compact between civil society and the US government.
For twenty years our national security apparatus was optimized for counterinsurgency in faraway places, with uncontested logistics and freedom of movement. While we focused there, our pacing threats focused on the information domain and on economic levers. They adapted and we did not. This is particularly true in the rising vulnerability of the resilience of our physical, economic, political, and social infrastructure to interdiction from adversarial powers, networks, and groups, effectively merging national and homeland security.

CIA officials called it the best intelligence coup since the Korean War.
