Top General: Protecting U.S. from 'Catastrophic Attack' is Lower Priority than Protecting 'Global Economic System' | CNS News

The nation's top general says "contributing to the stability of the global economy" is a higher priority national security interest for the U.S. military than "protecting the country from catastrophic attack."

In a Jan. 31 speech, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told cadets at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn., that the unpredictability of the dangers facing the nation will require in years to come that the military have "a very clear understanding of our national interests."
