| Arms for the World: How the U.S. Military Shapes American Foreign Policy
Cohen, Michael A.
Dissent; Fall 2009, v56, #4, pp69-75
"The expanded role of the armed forces in key aspects of American foreign policy may seem like a temporary overreaction to the attacks of September 11, 2001. But the military's dominant role in fighting the "war on terror" is the outgrowth of developments that were underway well before the fall of 2001. First and foremost was the maintenance of a large standing military force in peacetime."
Michael E. Cohen is a Senior Research Fellow at the New American Foundation, where he directs the privatization of Foreign Policy Initiative.
