The efficiency and destructiveness of the United States’s military so far in the Iran campaign have been historic, and the bravery and professionalism of the people at the tip of the spear are awe-inspiring. However, it’s also worth remembering that the shaft of that spear is long and comprised of thousands of essential workers, not all of them in uniform.

That kind of efficacy and efficiency can only be achieved by a widely shared mission focus without political or professional disagreements. During an active conflict with a state adversary like Iran, any work slowdown, strike threat, or bureaucratic standoff would weaken America’s war effort at the very moment unity and speed are most critical. That is why it’s so important that the Trump administration’s plan to curtail federal employee unions just cleared a major legal hurdle.
