The United States is fundamentally reshaping its military and strategic approach in response to rising great-power competition with China and Russia.

Meanwhile, ordinary Americans—especially working-class communities—bear the human and economic costs, from lost lives to mounting debt. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan highlight this grim cycle: massive profits for elites and devastating consequences for soldiers and civilians. True accountability and transparency are essential to break the endless war machine and restore America’s promise of security and prosperity.
