Abstract
A summation of a two-page document outlining the US Dept of Defense's 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review underscores the assertion that the military is chief architect & implementer of US foreign & national security policy. The development of this situation is traced, highlighting the post-Cold War period & the utilization of a massive & essentially unchallenged military during relative peacetime in military operations other than wars. Problems inherent to a militarized foreign policy defined by security threats & challenges are described, along with the crisis in civil-military relations this has fostered. A reconceptualization of fundamental US security interests is called for. D. Edelman. Adapted from the source document.
