From Yesterday's Fears to Today's Realities

Abstract

To address the full range of our mutual civilian-military concerns with national issues is a task which, I think, far exceeds the single effort of any single individual. My purpose here will be to suggest, however, a framework of understanding within which I think those of us who wear Uniforms, and those who do not, must and can think, work, and contribute together to the achievement of the fundamental purposes of our free society. I have in mind a common and, hopefully, agreed ground of facts from which to approach our several interests. Among other things, we must substitute today's reality for yesterday's fears. From such a base we can achieve the human communication which is necessary to both understanding and shared progress. (This article is based upon remarks delivered before the First National Symposium of the Civilian-Military Institute, Colorado Springs, 12 February 1977.
