Friend –

Are you watching the Women’s World Soccer Cup? Could you imagine if Team USA was missing all their forwards or their backline? That’s basically what Team USA is doing on the global stage when it comes to our diplomatic footprint.

• My op-ed in The Hill covers why it’s happening and the impact on our national security.
