@alanwatts,
that is the kind of talk that left US exposed in 1812 War and the West Point, Naval academy were a product of realities post-1812 war. You can quote all Madison you want, but the need for professional army was evident through out the world and worked like a charm in 1845 When US wrested massive land from Mexico.
- alanwatts 11y agoI don't mean to argue against the logic behind the negative-feedback cycle of the security dilemma. The Madison quote was meant to indicate the historic precedent for over extending oneself on the war front and the ways it has left the civil front critically vulnerable. However, today, in the electric age, there is no distinction between civil and military fronts.
