Abstract

Decline of Western Militaries: USA and UK Case-Studies

Dan Fayutkin

Military forces throughout history served as the most dominant and influential instrument of the national power in all security and military challenges. The use of military force changed European and American history as it did the history of many other non-European countries. A decade into the 21st century it is possible to see significant indicators demonstrating the decline of western military organizations. The experience of the USA and UK military forces deployment in Afghanistan and Iraq recognize that western military forces don?t effectively support political forces in the circumstances of irregular conflict.
