“Now all of us deplore this vast military spending. Yet, in the face of the Soviet attitude, we realize its necessity. Whatever the cost, America will keep itself secure. But in the process we must not, by our own hand, destroy or distort the American system. This we could do by useless overspending. I know one sure way to overspend. That is by overindulging sentimental attachments to outmoded military machines and concepts.” KnowsWayWarHandsAmericaFacesProcessRealizingAttitudeMilitaryCostConceptsMachinesSpendingDefenseSecureUselessAttachmentSovietSentimentalMilitary SpendingOverspending Author:Dwight D.

“I like aristocracy. I like the beauty of aristocracy. I like the hierarchical feeling.You could claim that it's due to my military experience. But it came before that.

“I am very athletic, actually, and I'm good at most sports. But I was never a successful athlete, because I have a lot of trouble with authority. To be a good athlete, you have to have sort of a military attitude. You have to enjoy being coached, and that was not something I ever liked. But more than that, I don't like practice, and coaches hate anybody that doesn't like practice. If you saw me throwing a football, you'd say, "Wow, he knows how to throw a football." But put me on a field, I'm not gonna stand out.” HateSportsEnjoyAttitudeSuccessfulTroubleMilitaryFootballAuthorityAthleteCoachesStanding OutAthletic Author:Michael Showalter
