Remove leadership devoted to notions like nation building, update weapons and capabilities where most needed, change goals from "peacekeeping efforts" to other goals like "conflict resolution." We also need to think about how and where we might deploy unit and equipment in conjunction with potential new allies like Russia. We want to go in with decisive action but we also don't necessarily want to show them our coolest new toys or put are most valuable assets at risk by making them dependent upon the Russians doing what they say they intend to do.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
