Joint Chiefs Clash With McNamara On ABM Defense
Gen. Earle G. Wheeler publicly challenged Secretary McNamara’s stance on an anti missile defense. He argued Nike X could save millions in a nuclear exchange and deny the Soviet Union an exploitable advantage, while McNamara warned such a system might not lower casualties or deter Moscow. The exchange, drawn from a closed hearing, centers on Nike X deployment and its impact on the arms race and strategic stability.
