They will have us saving the natives in the New Guinea highlands from the Trobriand Islanders before we are done, any enemy will do, no enemy is too small. The one thing that is totally unacceptable is peace and no war toys.

It is utter folly to throw money away like this when technology is moving so fast. Whatever you do is obsolete before you deploy it, and in a real war it's all trash in the first few weeks.
