Lt. Gen. Frederick "Ben" Hodges, Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe on the threats and challenges facing the U.S. and lack of spare resources for crises
02/09/2015
Lt. Gen. "Ben" Hodges says today 9 out of 10 divisional headquarters are committed, a situation unprecedented even at the height of the U.S. action in Afghanistan and Iraq. New crises are emerging that no one could predict such as Islamic State and Ukraine in 2014. Spare resources to meet new threats are urgently needed but the army is limited by the sequestration budget cuts, sending the wrong type of message to bad actors in the Middle East and Europe, says Hodges. Senators generally think of their state first, Texans about Ft. Hood, Carolinans about Fort Campbell, but no one represents Fort Wiesbaden, Germany. Hodges is based at the U.S. army base in Wiesbaden, Germany.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
