Wilson the defense secretary who never broke heads
In a critique from 1950s columns, Charlie Wilson is portrayed as a defense secretary trapped by budget cuts and a high stakes global threat. He failed to press Joint Chiefs for stronger readiness, prevent wasteful spending splits, or push for rapid modernization as Russia advanced. He favored peace and moderation, avoiding decisive action.
