He preached HIS version of the national interest which was, naïve and idiotic. "we don't need overseas bases and a big military when a few nuclear armed subs will do" or words to that effect.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
