 If there's a case for significant strategic benefit within a reasonable timeframe, someone in the Pentagon is probably working on it.

I wish I shared your optimism. The Pentagon hasn't exactly exerted much leadership in what should be done. Political considerations may play a role in that, but also it isn't something that we really have a history of doing. What department is supposed to do this?
