European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 25, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday. December 25. 1987 the stars and stripes Page 11 letters time to reappraise nato Soldier says the Lime is Ripe for a  reappraisal of Ameri can National Sec Sinh sri elegy. 1 i  Post world War ii View of illicit collective so curly via a shared Forward defence in Europe appears no longer necessary or tenable for America la is Lime that the United slates ends is entangling and expensive nato Alliance Asil now stands for incredibly Little National Benefit we arc incurring tremendous Cost. As Richard 1. Dennis in under of the room Voll Center for american policy studies Solcs we ought to mop preparing for inc previous War. Ii is far past Lime to formulate a More credible and effective Strale by that docs not risk Chicago in the defense of my  this thinking is m Accord with such groups a the Calo Institute a a Hington based Public policy research organi Alion which recently sponsored a three Day symposium entitled collective Security is strategic  with nationally known speakers and senators present. The reason a  Alliance entered internationalism is unnecessary and unreasonable As or. Dennis Points out is thai american vital interests can be rigorously and narrowly defined. The definition of a vital interest As related to nation Al Security my be directly linked to America s Territo rial and political integrity. A conventional invasion of America has always been improbable because the at lactic and Pacific oceans still Allard considerable Protection. An internal totalitarian takeover is also Only a re into possibility unless we undermine our democratic values in the course of executing the role of a world superpower. And finally it is extremely unlikely thai the Mere absence of a far Flung . Political and military role would cause major Powers such As China. Japan. Brit Ain France and West Germany to Supi Nely accept so Viet domination. These Are sonic reasons that Ameri can vital interests can in reality be narrowly defined. The luxury of having Only a Short list of True vital interests is also partly provided by the existence of a Large and sophisticated american nuclear Arsenal. Nuclear weapons will forever be Riih us and will forever devalue Triumph by Force. Here then is the lethal illusion and the fatal flaw in America s current nato strategy any kind of War in Europe is linked to the threat of global thermonuclear War. This May lower the likelihood of War be it can the .s.r, and Europe but at the expense of raising the probability of nuclear War Between the so Viet Union and the United states. That is a poor Trade off for America especially since we have sufficient military Power to deter an snack on our Homeland unilaterally. Thus when the Star and stripes headlines Europe must do More defense ministers say we must heartily agree but go further and say it is Lime to get Ameri can troops out of Western Europe altogether and opt for a More rational strategic Independence.
