Can't Stop War by Disbanding Army Says War Still Possible
Maj. Robert G. St. James argued that disbanding the army and navy cannot end war. Speaking at a High Twelve club meeting, he warned a strong national defense is essential to deter conflict and cited the 1914 17 period and the 1920 National Defense Act as guiding policy. He cautioned that only a capable force can back peace and prevent being forced into war.
