Zbigniew Brzezinski told reporters in Washington Wednesday that he believes the “severely stretched” US forces fighting the war on terror have done their job well. “In a country of 25 million people with only 130,000 US troops, the military is by and large doing a good job,” said the former national security advisor. Brzezinski also found it remarkable that only about one-third of US troops are serving in a combat role in Iraq.
Officials at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Fla., said the range is “fully mission capable” to support launches following a major May 28 mishap involving Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket.
