Discussion of Maritime (military) Strategy

This is likely to get interesting. Tell the military what we think is
important for them to protect in the world's oceans.

From my POV, the biggest threats are environmental - corporate dumping
of toxics, mismanagement of arable land, water and other critical
resources, our continued denial of global climate change, etc. These
are the the things a properly responsive arm of a government for the
people should strive to protect us from.

Discussion of Maritime Strategy
A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 10:00 AM - 11:50 AM
Vice Admiral John Morgan, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for
Information, Plans and Strategy, presents a video on the topic of a
cooperative maritime strategy in the 21st century. Discussion will
follow. (this is a free, public lecture) "A Cooperative Strategy for
21st Century Seapower" was presented by the Chief of Naval Operations
and the Commandants of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard at
the International Seapower Symposium in Newport, R.I. on Oct 17, 2007.
The result of over a year's work, this new enduring strategy will apply
maritime power to the crucial responsibility of protecting U.S. vital
interests in an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world. Signed
for the first time by the service chiefs of all three sea services, the
strategy draws the Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard even closer
together in working to protect and sustain the American Way of Life.
"The strategy focuses on opportunities - not threats; on optimism - not
fear; and on confidence - not doubt. It recognizes the challenges
imposed by the uncertain conditions in a time of rapid change and makes
the case for the necessity of U.S. seapower in the 21st Century." see
