Milatria (Continued from page 7) we are making ourselves into a militarized society ... For all the inadvertency of its creation and the in nocent intentions of its participants, it (the military industrial-academic complex) has become a powerful new force for the perpetuation of foreign military commitments, for the introduction and expansion of expensive new weapons systems, and, as a result, for the militarization of large segments of our national life. Most interest groups are coun terbalanced by other interest groups, but the defense complex is so much larger than any other that there is no effective counterweight to it except concern as to its impact on the part of some of our citizens and a few of our leaders, none of whom has material in centive to offer." Senator J. William Fulbright (Senate speech, December 13, 1967) "A climate of war creates its own horizons, its own justification and method. Subjected to such an at mosphere for a long period of time, men come to accept it as normal and self-evident; they create a logic that suits their state of soul. They create tools of violence as entirely normal methods of dealing with 'the enemy'; once created the tools are used with ever-increasing ease. Peaceableness, com munication with others, discussion, public candor these are less and less trusted as methods of dealing with human differences... in such an atmosphere, men gradually come to accept a totally different version of human life. Such men live in the dream world of the schizoid or the adolescent... the stranger becorpes the enemy. The enemy is everywhere. And almost inevitably, as the complexities of human relationships merge into the single image ' of the enemy, a complementary image of ourselves arises. We become the beleaguered defenders of all that is 1 good and noble in life, the society whose interventions are always governed by superior wisdom, whose military might serves only the good of humanity."

A enior Washington official in the Federal court ystem told LOOK, 'Going to prison is one of the most wful punishments, short of physical torture, that iese young men can endure. They are usually ensitive, high-spirited, idealistic people. Most of hem have to be protected physically at first by the rison authorities. On top of homosexuality, a lot of hysical brutality, many prison inmates are very atriotic... The young men go through all this, and rhen they get out of prison, they are still draftable.' Vhat moves a man to risk such hatred and pain? One tudy made recently at the University of California's lerkeley campus offers some answers. Led by ssociate Professor of Psychology Edward E. ampson, the Berkeley researchers tested 11 indicted raft refusers and 20 'red-hot' ROTC cadet officers to ry and identify psychological factors that made iem act so differently. Writing a composite portrait f each type, Sampson says (among other things): rhe resister tends to view himself as a responsible gent, an actor who causes events to happen and thus to be held accountable...' If he does not like the raft and the war, this sort of person feels he must do Dmething about them. 'That is, he sees himself as art of the problem; thus to become part of the cure, e personally must take positive action by resisting.' 'he study is buttressed by quotations from the ibjects. One resister explains, 'I feel that I some asponsibility towards all the people my age who are ow in the Army and who are in Vietnam being killed ecause no one spoke out before them...' The resister, ays the Berkeley- study, tends to be an optimist, elieving that through his actions he can alter his own estiny and that of the nation: 'It seems as if the sister holds out some hope for mankind, (saying) eople are not basically evil.'
