“The fact is that the United States could have done without the entire national-security establishment and it’s much-vaunted, meaningless term ‘national security’ and lived in peaceful coexistence with Vietnam, the Soviet Union, Cuba, China, Nicaragua, Grenada, and other communist regimes. How do we know this? Look at Vietnam. It’s still headed by a brutal communist regime. And yet the U.S. national-security establishment is not invading the country again to save the Vietnamese people (and the American people) from communism. That’s how it could have been throughout the Cold War, including with the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile, Guatemala, and other nations.”
