An Exchange on Civil-Military Relations

Kohn, Richard, Colin Powell, John Lehman, William Odom, Samuel Huntington, "An Exchange on Civil-Military Relations," The National Interest 36 (Summer 1994): 23-31

“Of all the problems facing the nation, a crisis in civil-military relations is not one of them and things are not out of control.

Mr. Kohn lays major responsibility for this non-crisis at my doorstep. I trust Mr. Kohn and the Republic are sleeping more soundly now that I have retired. I note that, to keep the pot boiling, in his last paragraph he takes a minor swipe at General Shalikashvili by an anonymous source.”
