US military focus has been lacking on state actors? Hmmmm. The F-35 is not a counterinsurgency weapon system. Neither is the F-22, nor the B-21. Nor are the upgrades to the B-1 and B-52. Nor the EA-18 Growler. Nor the Zumwalt class and the latest versions of the Arleigh Burke class of DDs. Nor the latest upgrades to the SM series missiles and Aegis weapons systems. Nor the Columbia class SSBNs. Nor the upgrades to the Minuteman system and development of its replacement system. Nor the upgrades to the strategic nuclear warhead stockpile. Nor the development of longer range anti-ship missiles. Nor the upgunning of Styker APCs. I could go on, but I think the point was made.
