Abstract:

General John Shalikashvili will be the first Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to assume office since the end of the Cold War. The first principle of national security is timeless: The nation that seeks peace should prepare for war. In his testimony, he can show that he is ready to share this knowledge with an Administration that seems less certain of it.
