“The rediscovery of the anti-militarist tradition requires illumination and enlightenment. Americans should remember the time in their history when demobilizing most of the armed forces once a war was over was the accepted practice and when many Americans were suspicious of large standing-military establishments. That is a policy that goes back to the English Civil War and Glorious Revolution, wars in which large militaries were judged dangerous for British liberties.”
