Bunting is not calling for a careless military adventure. He had that. His is a call for strength, for purpose, for meaning. Why not some kind of national service to bolster our military and give young people some sense of obligation to their country? Why not calculated boldness in dangerous times? Why not energy conservation and a rejuvenated military machine?
The American spirit is flaccid, Bunting says. But it still breathes. The Compellas, Robertson, Lemming and, yes. Bunting yearn to be stirred.
