Americans dislike . Military men in peace time do not go about tiny country strutting uniforms the lop generate As like As not. Are to be seen travelling about in Mufti 1 its it used to be called namely the Street dress of a Small businessman. However comes a and that red tape bound military Force grows in size efficiency and character ours is Atter All. A citizens army Navy hid air Force with a very smart hard Core of professionals. Who form the Frame of an accordion like military. With such a Force we have generally won our wars which were against the Bri i Tish the mexicans the indians and various latin american countries whom we were protecting against themselves As we strictly believed.

Film strip needed for girl scouts then came world i and we were involved in something very new for us actual fighting in Europe in Alliance with other countries. We adjusted with difficulty to world i. Herbert Hoover s new Book on Woodrow Wilson shows how1 difficult it to adjust to the concept of fighting by Means of an Alliance. Our people were wholly unprepared for it. In world ii the allies acted As one Force and the direction of All hirers concentrated. The bickering . At times ferocious. General Eisenhower a value during world ii not that he possessed any military Genius that not expected of him. Rather his Genius Lay in his ability to get irreconcilable men of Many nationalities to work together against a common foe in this psychological Effort he remarkable successful. Particularly in winning Over the British who tended to regard some of our officers As second rate. I a a the present quarrel Over reorganization is a permanent quarrel in our military forces and in Congress i recall discussing it Back with James Forrestal. Traditionally our army and Navy have been separate forces each with its own traditions and habits each purchasing its own supplies each stalled by officers Independent of every other service. Then came air. The army had an air army the Navy had an air Navy even the Marine corps had an air Marine corps. However it became necessary to organize a separate air Branch for efficiency of military operations. This done and a new competitive element entered the military picture. As a result of the various squabbles the department of defense organized on the theory that a unified administrative service could be established. Economies were to be effected by establishing a unified Standard inventory. Nothing like Attiat happened. If anything the departments Are now More competitive than they have Ever been each fighting for its Little Empire and for its place in the budget. Everyone agrees that there should be unification. So the joint chiefs of staff were organized the theory being that if they sat together and worked together they would ultimately forget the services from which they originated and that they would Piso Facto become unified this did not happen. Instead. The tendency has been for each department to stand on its Itie girl scouts of this area Are launching a picture Hunt. The girls scouts of America need old photographs and film footage for their 50th anniversary movies. They Are especially interested in old photographs and film footage taken from 1912 to 1950. They would especially like to have a three generation girl scout family.

Suddenly the country becomes conscious of the fact that we Are falling behind the russians. Each service that had heretofore been claiming itself As the top service in the world suddenly admitted defects. That not Only Hurt american Pride but frightened our people. They wandered what could have happened to All the billions of dollars that we had spent on All our preparations for . Many plans for unification have since appeared but there w is no plan that satisfied everybody except that there is no valid support for the maintenance of the status quo. The demand for change appeared on All sides. Army men and Many civilians fear the prussian chief of staff Type of organization but that a form of Unity of planning and Unity of authority is necessary All agree. And the likelihood is that some such plan will be evolved on the floor of Congress by own and even forming groups prolonged debate but it is certain within each department to fight that we shall have an effective de Lor some special appropriation for i sense Force.
