Freedom during threats echoes past battles and plagues
Yale's Whitney Griswold told Columbia's bicentennial conference that liberty must endure under dangers akin to H bombs and war. He warned against assuming unique times and urged preserving definitions of freedom within national security, recalling medieval plagues and the 30 years war as lessons. A separate Britain report notes Sandhurst cadets devote 22 percent of energy to cleaning equipment rather than fighting, while five percent goes to drills and weapons.
