It's the difference between a burglar and a mugger. Disdain for targets, a view of violence cutting a need for expenses, analysis, or tool selection. Modern CLIENTELISM blurs the lies. American power used to, split between global competitiors and poorer nations. A clear line.
Nowhere is hard power and soft power more out of balance than the United States.
To illustrate the gap: a US aircraft carrier strike group is composed of about 8,000 personnel, roughly the number of diplomats serving abroad. The US has 11 strike groups.
