It is victory in this cold war that is our mission - by being strong enough to defeat aggression any- where, anytime, by any means. The life of our country depends on our carrying to the peoples of the world the strength of our convictions - that subversion and the threat of world-wide Communism will not be tolerated. To be succesful in this greatest of our Nation's efforts, we must show the world that our military potential is indeed the greatest ever. Fortu- nately, we have not been forced to use it in a decade, but we stand ready. Yet, this is only a part of our overall mission. The strongest weap- on available to us is proving to the rest of the world that our democratic way of life is better than a Com- munist dictatorship ever could be. It is for this reason that We have our People to People program, as it is the primary means by which peo- ples of foreign lands can see democ- racy for themselves. The majority of Americans that are seen in the Far East are servicemen, and it is up to us as ambassadors of the United States to carry the fight to the en- emy, and see our way to victory. A MISSION fi-4a-Ak
