"ICH"
In
this essay I will argue that commonalties in early
academic life and early political employment led to
the creation of a core group of thinkers who have an
inordinate amount of power and influence in the
current administration of George W. Bush.
I
will argue that the philosophical genesis stems from
the writings and teachings of Leo Strauss, furthered
by the writings and teachings of Alan Bloom, and the
writings and influence of Irving Kristol.
I
will argue that the strategic military thought stems
directly from the writings and teachings of Albert
Wohlstetter, Herman Kahn, and Democratic senator
Henry "Scoop"
Jackson
.
I
will argue that there is a direct connection between
the followers of Straussian thought and
Wohlstetter’s belief in next-generation warfare.
I
will conclude with a projection for future conflict
based on current US Military doctrine and theory.
