College Street Newberry STROMlTHURMOND Reports PEOPLE with administering the entire U.S. defense establishment raises a basic question vital to all Americans: under what conceiv able circumstances would prep aration for war be waste? The only apparent answer is that preparation for war would be a waste if there is clearly no dan ger of any attack on the Tnited States or of any encroachment on U.S. vital int-rests around the world. THERE ARE obviously many continuing attempts by the com munists to impair or destroy U.S. interests around the world —in Southeast Asia Korea, th? Near East, Africa, and Cuba, just to name a few. The question remains, does the United States consider these interests vital? Or, does the U.S. now consider that only its territorial integrity is vital? And as to the territori al integrity of the U.S., have the Soviets abandoned efforts to achieve strategic nuclear su periority which would threaten the U.S. mainland with destruc tion? IN RECENT YEARS, there have been more and more indica tions that U.S. policymakers be lieve that the Soviets would “mellow,” that the chances of the USSR beginning a war would diminish, and that the U.S. and the USSR would be able to reach agreements on differences. For instance, during the “Muzzling of the Military” investigation in 1962, we revealed that the State Department believed and stated, that “The word Mctory’ has a militaristic and aggressive ring less suited than . (defeat of communist aggression) to de scribing our national objectives. ‘Victory’ also implies an 'all-or- nothing’ approach, leaving no room for accommodation.” THE STRATEGIC objective of military preparedness of the U.S. is to prevent a war. not to be used for purposes of aggres sion or conquest. It is signifi cant, therefore, that the Secre tary of Defense, in testifying before the Congress this year concerning the relative military postures of the U.S. and the USSR, prefaced his assessment with the caveat: “assuming that both sides have the same gen era] strategic objectives, which 1 believe to be the case.” THE RATIONALE is that preparation for war k> waste— IF YOU TRUST THE COM MUNISTS. IN THE COMING WEEKS, 1 will discuss the state of our deteriorating military prepared ness. Sincerely, Military Preparedness: Waste or Wisdom?—Part I “WAR IS WASTE, and the preparation for war is waste. And it simply means a diversion from the rest of our society to military preparation a diversion that in a sense we can ill af ford.” These are the words of Secretary of Defense McNa mara, from an interview on January 4, 1965, concerning the closure of a number of defense IN THIS INTERVIEW, the Secretary of Defense stated, of course, that the base closures he has ordered would not affect the military capability of the U.S. He also stated in concluding his interview, however, that: “l think that it would be a tremendous opportunity for us economically and socially to eliminate defense entirely. It would be a social good.” ECONOMY IN GOVERN MENT operations and the elimi nation of waste of taxpayers’ funds are most laudable. No one can objectively argue with ac tions closing military facilities which make little or no contribu tion to our military prepared ness. UNNEEDED FACILITIES are not preparation for war, however; and preparation for war ie not waste. WAR MAY BE considered waste; but the lessons of history demonstrate that military pre paredness is the surest way to avoid war—and should war oc cur, nevertheless—to win it and thereby minimize your losses in lives, property, and maintain freedom. It is the militarily weak who are most likely to be attacked—and conquered. SINCE WORLD WAR II— which we entered unprepared— superior U S military power has prevented a general war. Mili tary unpreparedness—withdraw al of our troops from South Korea—resulted in the Korean “conflict,” and the consequent loss of many American lives. Superior U.S. military power- preparedness for war, that is— has maintained our independence from foreign domination, and also the independence of many other nations. This was no waste. PREPARATION FOR WAR by the United Stales since World War II has, therefore, been a “social good.” In the ab sence of such preparation, there would have been little, if any, opportunity for Americans to enjoy such “social goods” as education, better housing, wel fare, and recreation.
