Apart from some US Army bureaucrats, I don't think anyone cares.
The Biden administration is trying to come up with a coherent approach to China without breaking too many eggs. It is obvious the Afghanistan withdrawal will be prelude to a mess at best.
After the very public failure in this small arena, no one can trust the Pentagon claims about their strategy for deterring China.
The US needs a 'come to Jesus' moment, to admit they have not won a war in 75 years and that more of the same will only stretch that string to a century or more.
Hopefully the Biden team will catch on before the NATO allies do.
