In The Service, When A Man Gives

I Believe We Must Be Strong Militarily, But Beyond A Certain Point Military Strength Can Become A National Weakness.

Only Strength Can Cooperate. Weakness Can Only Beg.

Pessimism Never Won Any Battle.

In Most Communities It Is Illegal To Cry 'fire' In A Crowded Assembly. Should It Not Be Considered Serious International Misconduct To Manufacture A General War Scare In An Effort To Achieve Local Political Aims?

I Feel Impelled To Speak Today In A Language That In A Sense Is New-one Which I, Who Have Spent So Much Of My Life In The Military Profession, Would Have Preferred Never To Use. That New Language Is The Language Of Atomic Warfare.
