Adams, Gordan and Matthew Leatherman. “How to Cut the Pentagon’s Budget While Improving Its Preformance.” Foreign Affairs. Council on Foreign Relations, Jan/Feb 2011. Web. 7 February 2011.
This online publication deals with American foreign policy and international affairs and is published buy the non-partisan and non-profit group Council on Foreign Relations. This source is interesting in that it is somewhere in between a scholarly journal and magazine and a subscription is necessary to view the full articles. The article is very data rich and the authors provide figures to back up their arguments of how cutting out many programs and even a whole command (Joint Forces Command) and two Pentagon bureaucracies will lead to a more streamlined and sustainable defense program. With the amount of empirical data and the amount of specific identification of what can be done to cut the budget of the Pentagon, this article is a very good source of information on this topic.
