2017 American Defense Programs And Policies

The latest defense policy bill, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), faces many political hurdles before implementation. Will the United States continue to buy Russian rocket engines or risk a space launch gap? Should we require women to register for the draft? Will the Republican effort to increase defense spending by $18 billion be successful? Would the administration veto the military’s spending bill for a second year straight? Could the 2017 NDAA crash and burn after a fight over LGBT rights? No matter its final shape, the 2017 NDAA promises momentous change for the Pentagon and the US military. Join AEI as Chris Brose and Bob Simmons, the staff directors of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees, discuss the politics and policy of the latest defense policy bill with AEI’s Mackenzie Eaglen.
