How was Reagan Revolution a response to political crises?
Reagan was a no-nonsense man. He chose the right men to do the job, if they couldn't or wouldn't do the job, he replaced them. When he had a problem, he spoke with the men he hired. He expected to speak with only one man. And not waste his time or words with others, unless needed. If that ONE man couldn't do what he was hired to do, then he was replaced with a man that could. When Operation Urgent Fury (Grenada) commenced in 1983, NO ONE except those that were supposed to know, knew what happened. The press was censured; and the military took care of the rest. Reagan wanted NO Vietnam negative press. So the operation was conducted in a clean, quick, efficient manner. Reagan represented NO double speak (NO double talk), do the job you were hired to do. As the Federal Air Controllers found out, when they were all FIRED (thousands of them!). Reagon was NOT Politically Correct; a horse was a horse, and a car was a car.

What is your opinion of the Cold War?
i dont like any kind of war that accord to us in world I think it was apparrent that when the A|llies met in 1945 in Germany that the British & US Allies were not the same as the Russian Allies. Although they had fought a common enemy they had very different feelings about each other. Quite why the Russians felt the way they did towards the British & Americans I cannot say. Still, it was good of us to send the convoys to Murmansk, wasn't it. And so it remained for a generation & more & still it defies reason that I can see, unless any Soviet correspondents wish to enlighten us......
Subversion is the undermining of the power and authority of an established system or institution.
What were the human and material costs of Cold War?
From 1946 to 1974 the USA military costs were in excess of $1.3 trillion on national security alone; this compares to $1.6 trillion spent by the federal government for all non military goods & services since 1789. That's all I can find, if anyone has any more answers I'd be very glad to read them. What a difference though. They spent nearly the same amount in 28 years during the cold war as they did in 219 years on everything else. Sad isn't it.
