McGovern speaks to Legion on defense cuts and power
Senator George McGovern told American Legion delegates in Chicago that despite a pledge to cut military spending his plan would keep the United States invincible and able to deter enemies. He proposed slashing about 32 billion from an 80 billion defense budget while maintaining sufficient firepower to deter Russia and China, and he praised veterans’ service while criticizing wasteful spending. He planned to meet Chicago Mayor Daley for crucial Illinois support and noted his World War I bomber service to emphasize credibility.
