True on both counts, we will have to wait and see how his resolve holds (or doesn't) once the **** hits the fan. BUT, at least he is starting down the road correctly.
I agree with this. Americans has tradition been wary of military participation in the decisions that should left to civilians.

And, back to "knowing more" because we are a democracy... just how much did the average American know beforehand about the Manhattan Project? D-day?
