Description
(Note: After the catalog went to press, the instructor requested that the program be converted to online-only.) The United States has relied excessively on military power and military force to attain its national security objectives. We spend too much on defense, use force too readily, and have huge military bases the world over. President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about this and the military-industrial complex in his Farewell Address in 1963. The lecture will explore ways and means to reduce our overreliance on the military.
