Abstract
Secretary Cohen's defense review is out, but the flaws in the Pentagon 's military planning are still glaring. Haiti, Bosnia, NATO expansion, stability in Korea, keeping Iraq in check - all these are primarily a rmy and air force missions. Yet the army has been reduced by about 40 percent, while the navy has been cut back far less and the marines har dly at all. Advances in technology make the marines' expeditionary rol e and the navy's aircraft carriers obsolete. Defense doesn't need more money it needs to reallocate resources. As it stands, the United Stat es is paying more for a military that can do less.
