“The only way you can force new thinking is to cut the budget. You have to reduce resources to the bureaucracy. That forces prioritization and new thinking,” Christopher Miller says.

In a recent episode of “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek and Miller, former acting secretary of defense under the Trump administration, discuss Miller’s vision of a major reform of the military, along with the Jan. 6 Capitol breach, the Afghanistan withdrawal, and the unrestricted warfare strategy of the Chinese Communist Party. Miller is the author of “Soldier Secretary: Warnings from the Battlefield & the Pentagon About America’s Most Dangerous Enemies.”

Jan Jekielek is a senior editor with The Epoch Times, host of the show “American Thought Leaders.” Jan’s career has spanned academia, international human rights work, and now for almost two decades, media. He has interviewed nearly a thousand thought leaders on camera, and specializes in long-form discussions challenging the grand narratives of our time. He’s also an award-winning documentary filmmaker, producing “The Unseen Crisis,” “DeSantis: Florida vs. Lockdowns,” and “Finding Manny.”
