Lieutenant General Drum declared the pacifist view false as he urged a prepared defense and offensive readiness during the Citizens Military Training Camp exercises at Plattsburg. He warned public sentiment must recognize that a strong army stays on the offensive, not the defensive, to ensure national security.
