the peace corps or the marine corps? it is not an accident at two of the 20th century's greatest advocates of a peaceful world were soldiers -- general george marshall and president dwight eisenhower. accepting the nobel prize for peace, general marshall said that a strong military posture was "and vitally important to build a dependable, long, enduring peace." in the same address, the general sharply criticized the rapid drawdown after world war ii, arguing that the korean war was a direct result of that drawdown. marshall understood the folly of trying to harvest a peace dividend when there was no peace. so did president eisenhower. ike was called "the peace president," a warrior who hated war, but he also understood the wisdom of preparedness. in one of his first addresses to the american people, president eisenhower said, "as long as their purses a threat to freedom, free nations must at any cost remain armed, strong war."eady for the risk of fou it is logical to ask after 10 years of conflict, is our military prepar
