Introduction
Stephen J.Cimbala
The Clinton administration entered office in January 1993 with high expectations of bringing liberal values to bear on domestic and foreign policy. Clintons domestic policy priorities were more or less fully sorted out; his defense strategy and military programs, however, were up for grabs. During the first two years of the Clinton administration, U.S. security issues continued to veer away from Cold War preparedness for global conflict with the Soviet Union. Regional conflicts, such as the war against Iraq in 1991, became the scenario drivers of U.S. military planning. On the other hand, Clinton inherited a military left over from the Cold War years. Professional mind-sets of the U.S. armed forces and their expectations for shares of the national pie were very much conditioned by the experience of the preceding 40 years or so.
