Excerpt
Excerpt: I have served my country as a soldier for 36 years, finally reaching one of the highest positions of responsibility. Following my appointment to a five-year term as a National Defense Commission member, I found myself unable to sleep through the night (2). Again last night, I awoke in a cold sweat from my recurring nightmare of a nuclear holocaust. All Commission members must intimately familiarize themselves with United States? doctrine and policies. The United States? National Military Strategy (U.S.N.M.S.), published in 1997, particularly intrigued me. I could see the obvious strengths and, more importantly, the weaknesses of the imperialistic U.S. military strategy. Despite those U.S.N.M.S. shortcomings, I continued to ponder how my country would survive another day under the incessant pressure from the rest of the world at the bidding of the United States.
