Oaks acknowledged that some military critics think far More aircraft should be brought Back from overseas and redeployed to Europe As needed. But while the aircraft could be redeployed quickly it would take time to put the pieces of the command and control system together he said.

As Long As a soviet tactical nuclear threat exists the United states must be Able to respond in kind he said. A a to have the soviets maintain a tactical nuclear capability while we brought All ours Home would have a negative morale her charges of sexual harassment.
