Keane: U.S. ‘Ill-Prepared’ to Meet Threats

Weeks after declining an offer to serve in president-elect Donald Trump’s administration, retired Army Gen. Jack Keane on Tuesday testified before Congress that the United States is “ill-prepared” to meet the threats against the nation.

Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Army and member of The Cipher Brief’s network, appeared at the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing focused on “Emerging U.S. Defense Challenges and Worldwide Threats.”

“The Cipher Brief has become the most popular outlet for former intelligence officers; no media outlet is even a close second to The Cipher Brief in terms of the number of articles published by formers.” —Sept. 2018, Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 62
