Rather than something for "other people" to do, Bacevich argues that national defense should become the business of "we the people."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 355.00973 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 355.00973 Ba Checked In Add Copy to MyList
