More From Charles Rangel

When i grew up, in taiwan, the korean war was seen as a good war, where america protected asia. it was sort of an extension of world war ii. and it was, of course, the peak of the cold war. people in taiwan were generally proamerican. the korean war made japan. and then the vietnam war made taiwan. there is some truth to that.

It's basically the same in all periods of societies. if you belong to the majority, you can avoid thinking about lots of troubling things.' 'and those troubling things are all you /can/ think about when you're one of the few.' 'that's about the size of it,' she said mournfully. 'but maybe, if you're in a situation like that, you learn to think for yourself.' 'yes, but maybe what you end up thinking for yourself /about/ is all those troubling things.

Let me be clear: i'm a believer in a robust military, which is essential for backing up diplomacy. but the implication is that we need a balanced tool chest of diplomatic and military tools alike. instead, we have a billionaire military and a pauper diplomacy. the u.s. military now has more people in its marching bands than the state department has in its foreign service - and that's preposterous.

Past Government Support
With a book called 'keeping score,' i really did want to write a book about the korean war, because i felt that it is the least understood war in the american cultural imagination. so i set out with the idea that americans didn't know much about the korean war and that i was going to try to fix a tiny bit of that.
War Book Writing
Haven't you heard the democrats disparage people who sign up? it's something i've never understood. okay, you don't like the military, fine and dandy, but why impugn the people that sign up? they're signing up knowing full well they're volunteering. they're offering their lives, potentially. why impugn 'em? why go out...? because it's an opportunity to criticize america; that's why. because in the democrat world, nobody would ever join the military. "good lord, we'd go to yale - hell, we'd go to dartmouth - before we go to the military!

Clever Military Pressure
Personal prudence, even when dictated by quite other than selfish considerations, surely is no special virtue in a military man; while an excessive love of glory, impassioning a less burning impulse, the honest sense of duty, is the first.
