When we've taken up arms, it has been for the defense of freedom for ourselves and for other peaceful nations who needed our help. But now, faced with the development of weapons with immense destructive power, we've no choice but to maintain ready defense forces that are second to none.

Consequently, instructional decisions cannot be formulated on high then packaged and handed down to teachers.
