Lincoln believed, he posits, in a small but active government in a nation defined by aspiration. He educated himself in a frontier environment characterized by mind-numbing labor and then turned his back on that world. All his life, he preached a gospel of work and discipline toward the all-important ends of self-improvement and individual advancement. In short, Lincoln lived the American Dream and succeeded in opening a way to it for others. He saw in the nation's founding documents the unchanging foundation of an endlessly dynamic society. He embraced the market and the amazing transportation and communications revolutions beginning to take hold. He helped give birth to the modern industrial economy that arose before the Civil War and that took off after it.

Considering the differences between the Senate and House resolutions, however, the chances of hammering out a compromise seem remote.

Bucci, Ph.D.A military force becomes “hollow” when it lacks sufficient capabilities to field trained and ready forces, conduct current missions, meet security commitments, and prepare for future threats. If a military can’t do these well, it can’t really deliver on the government’s promise to provide for the common defense. While the U.S. military is the most trained, professional, and powerful fighting force in the world, there are signs that a hollow force may be in our future.
