In my view, this is downstream of our inability to build institutions beyond natsec for government action. All the elements of national power are important for national security, but only the natsec community is empowered to think comprehensively think about the activity of the US as a state.

Really hate how “national security” has metastasized to refer to “literally anything the government does”
National Security relates to when you do violence. It is a core function of the State, but States do things other than violence. Even Hobbes wasn’t this myopic.
