Book 1 of 3: Militarism In America
Synopsis
Militarism was a live issue before WWII. Accusations of militarism were part of the struggle over the size of America’s armed forces. Anti-militarists claimed that larger forces would tempt our leaders into foreign wars. Expansion of R.O.T.C. was also opposed, as educating young men that might makes right and force is the best argument. This opposition, along with budget constraints, was effective in limiting the size of the United States Army until the mid-nineteen thirties. Anti-militarists had little success in limiting the size of the US Navy. The large navy was seen as defensive in nature and thus not the danger to peace that a large army might be. Before December 7, 1941, a charge of militarism often provoked an answer. This led to discussions about what was actually needed for national defense. Such discussions are no longer held, but this book demonstrates they were possible and could have effect.
