Reference no: EM131218268

What evidence from our readings suggests that Americans consider themselves peaceful?

The final paragraph from For the Common Defense Introduction (xiv) says:

"Americans have had a peculiar ambivalence toward war. They have traditionally and sincerely viewed themselves as a peaceful, unmilitaristic people, and yet they have hardly been unwarlike. Statistics alone testify to the pervasive presence of war in the nation's history, for tens of millions of Americans have served in wartime and more than a million have died in uniform. Understanding both this paradoxical love-hate attitude toward war and the relationship among military institutions, war, and society is essential in comprehending America's past, its present, and, perhaps, its future."
