Not related to health care and undermines credibility. Pres. Obama calls for same thing all serious military thinkers/leaders call for: improved capability and integration of civilian agencies in national security. National strategy requires integration of all instruments of national power. Think DIME: diplomacy, information, military and economy.
Post WWII we forced all the military services to work together in new DoD. Now we need to integrate elements of State, Treasury, Commerce. Think Marshall Plan — military held ground, diplomats got Europeans on side, economic aid undercut communist movements in Western Europe.
