00:20

one The vietnam war was just starting in the cold

00:24

war was getting left cold and let's Just skim it

00:27

here because the wise thing to do in the beginning

00:29

so remember like i quit of america's attention for government

00:31

of even his dignity technique for golden week is also

00:35

logical thinking Was there another danger Imposes emotional transport sacrifices

to be doing anything was wrong You'd increase in your

00:42

element advanced al anon program to cure every land I'm

00:44

confident you will get it Well i was thinking the

00:46

00:50

conjunction with the military government were going yeah heavy topic

00:53

All right so here let's Just do the first questions

00:55

Things that i don't like working with defense growth in

00:57

passage connecting branches What Okay Yeah the correct answer here

01:01

He's Trying to be a peacemaker Yeah What do you

01:03

think Peace out baby Good old president eisenhower takes the

01:06

classic balanced position In his piece out america farewell speech

01:10

he freely admits on multiple occasions that all the military

01:13

expansion was necessary But he asserts that it also has

01:16

grave implications and unwarranted influence The military guy launching a

01:22

duck here What do you think the world gone mad

01:24

over all his is a cautious balanced approach to the

01:28

military He's Warning everyone to be careful moving forward Thanks

01:32

for the heads up Watching for the land mines Calling

01:35

eisenhower and enthusiastic proponent is ludicrous It's way over the

01:39

top Even though he admits the spending was necessary Warning

01:42

of its grave implications makes him not so enthusiastic Yeah

01:46

eisenhower does take a balanced approach there but there's no

01:49

evidence that he's trying to solve the dispute So get

01:51

rid of that one And these are more like his

01:53

you know parting thoughts from his mentioned that the military

01:56

development was imperative We know he's Not exactly an opponent

02:00

either So balanced peaceful war no more What it good

02:04

For absolutely nothing Shmoop
