"A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction."

Did you read this part of Eisenhower's Farewell Address?

Goodness wins, re reading Eisenhauer's Farewell Address, yes, I did read that part. And nowhere in my comment did I ever once suggest that the military was not necessary to our peace and security. However, did you read the rest of Eisenhauer's address? He suggests going on the type of humanitarian offensive I am suggesting. It's a common sense, fiscally intelligent thing to do. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
