More From John Rawls

"peace" is a condition in which no civilian pays any attention to military casualties which do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence-unless that civilian is a close relative of one of the casualties. but, if there ever was a time in history when "peace" meant that there was no fighting going on, i have been unable to find out about it.
Peace Military War
By calling attention to 'a well regulated militia,' 'the security of the nation,' and the right of each citizen 'to keep and bear arms,' our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy... the second amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. for that reason i believe the second amendment will always be important.
Country Father Military
The reason we've always had a civilian in that job [secretary of defence] is because we really believe that it is policymakers who ought to control the military and not have the military control the military.
Jobs Military Believe
Senator mcgovern is very sincere when he says that he will try to cut the military budget by 30%. and this is to drive a knife in the heart of israel... jews don't like big military budgets. but it is now an interest of the jews to have a large and powerful military establishment in the united states... american jews who care about the survival of the state of israel have to say, no, we don't want to cut the military budget, it is important to keep that military budget big, so that we can defend israel.

In early 1961 a new president, john f. kennedy, was told by military leaders and civilian officials that the kingdom of laos - of no conceivable strategic importance to the u.s. - required the presence of american troops and perhaps even tactical nuclear weapons. why? because if laos fell, asia would go red from thailand to indonesia.

Similar Quotes
Dance. dance for the joy and breath of childhood. dance for all children, including that child who is still somewhere entombed beneath the responsibility and skepticism of adulthood. embrace the moment before it escapes from our grasp. for the only promise of childhood, of any childhood, is that it will someday end. and in the end, we must ask ourselves what we have given our children to take its place. and is it enough?
Children Responsibility Parenting
First of all, although men have a common destiny, each individual also has to work out his own personal salvation for himself in fear and trembling. we can help one another to find the meaning of life no doubt. but in the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for "finding himself." if he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence. you cannot tell me who i am and i cannot tell you who you are. if you do not know your own identity, who is going to identify you?

Our job as americans is to restore that basic bargain that says, if you work hard, if you're willing to meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead. you can get ahead. doesn't matter what you look like, doesn't matter where you come from. our middle class, when it's growing, when it's thriving, when there are ladders of opportunity for people to do a little bit better each year and then make sure that their kids are doing even better than them, that's the american dream. that's what we got to fight for. that has to be the north star that guides everything we do.
Dream Responsibility Hard Work
Children will, in my dream, be taught that laziness and narcissism are at the very root of human evil, and why this is so. . . . they will come to know that the natural tendency of the individual in a group is to forfeit his or her ethical judgment to the leader, and that this tendency should be resisted. and they will finally see it as each individual's responsibility to continually examine himself or herself for laziness and narcissism and then to purify themselves accordingly.
