Communicating America's Defense Needs

Abstract

This paper will discuss the need for public support to ensure our continued national survival, the molding of that support into firm public resolve for meeting future defense challenges, and the pervasive long-term nature of the Soviet threat. The paper will cover several areas of (and reasons for) public confusion concerning key defense issues--confusion that, if left unchecked, will lead to erosion of national will and inhibit implementation of measures necessary for the preservation of our republic and basic freedoms. Finally, the paper will suggest one possible approach for use in effectively articulating the nation's defense needs to our citizens at the grassroots level.
