MILITARY ~ Honor, Duty, Country

[Mariner*]

On Korea, MacArthur was right
“Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government: Whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing indulged in too long, by Federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be.
“These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, honor, country.”
— Gen. Douglas MacArthur, at the U.S. Military Academy, May 12, 1962
