Here she charts America's dangerous drift into a state of perpetual war. One of my favorite ideas is, never to keep an unnecessary soldier, Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1792. 520 1 $a "Drift opens with an analysis of the politics surrounding the Vietnam War, focusing on the Abrams Doctrine, which stressed public support for military operations. Maddow writes that Lyndon B. Johnson's reluctance to utilize the National Guard and the Army Reserve began the trend of separating the military and its use from the purview of the American population. She discusses the 1973 War Powers Resolution and the evolving role of the American President in military conflicts. After elaborating on the Reagan administration's role in the Invasion of Grenada and the Iran-Contra affair, Drift gives credit to George H. W. Bush for seeking Congressional approval for Operation Desert Storm. Maddow is critical of the use of private contractors and intelligence agencies in warfare. She writes about the American incursion into Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden and makes the point that land set aside for houbara bustard hunting gave reason for both Pakistan and the United States to excuse the existence of a secret base that originated drone attacks."--from the Wikipedia Overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift:_The_Unmooring_of_American_Military_Power 650 0 $a National security $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Military policy. 651 0 $a United States $x Appropriations and expenditures. $x Appropriations and expenditures. 650 0 $a Militarism $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1989- 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1989- 651 4 $a FoÌrenta staterna. 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x Appropriations and expenditures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00814587 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Militarism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020839 650 7 $a Military policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021386 650 7 $a National security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033711 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Militarismus $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4039356-2 650 7 $a Politische Kultur $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4046540-8 650 7 $a Sicherheitspolitik $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4116489-1 650 7 $a MilitaÌrpolitik $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4065004-2 651 7 $a USA $2 gnd $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 650 7 $a SaÌkerhetspolitik. $2 sao 650 7 $a Militarism. $2 sao 650 7 $a Politisk kultur. $2 sao 650 7 $a National security $z United States. $2 sears 650 7 $a Military policy $z United States. $2 sears 651 7 $a United States $x Appropriations and expenditures. $x Appropriations and expenditures. $2 sears 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 sears 651 7 $a United States $x Foreign relations. $2 sears 651 7 $a United States $x Politics and government. $2 sears 651 1 $a United States $x Appropriations and expenditures. $x Appropriations and expenditures. 651 1 $a United States $x Foreign relations. 651 1 $a United States $x Politics and government. 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 655 3 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & TheoryHÌISTORY / United States / 20th Century. 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l MIPA194 $d 20210525132325.0 $n 6 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=28AA3C60AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
