Abstract:
Conventional forces are not cheap. In fact, they are far more expensive than nuclear forces. Maintaining adequate conventional forces therefore requires a continued commitment to Ronald Reagan's conventional weapons rearmament program. For there is no other choice if the U.S. wishes to continue its role as the preeminent defender of the free world.
