Speaker addresses
the nature of war
By JEFF ALSTON and
ANNE HAMILTON
On Wednesday, February
26, 2003, Dr. Joe Caddell
offered his insight about war
in a presentation called,
“Why Study War” in the
Richard B. Moffatt
auditorium.
Caddell, presented by Dr.
Kay Albertson, associate vice
president for academic
affairs, is a history instructor
at the University of North
Carolina, North Carolina
State University and Meredith
College.
Caddell served active duty
in the U.S. Air Force as a
combat intelligence officer
between 1973 andl976. He
then received a bachelor’s
degree from UNC and later
pursued his master’s.
Caddell said that the many
aspects and complexities of
war are often misunderstood
and confusing.
He said war has been
defined as “policy.. .by other
means,” quoted from 19^^^
century German warrior, Carl
van Clausewitz which is the
same definition used by the
Air Force, Navy, Department
of Defense, and CNN.
Caddell personally defined
war as a conflict between two
cultures with “ mutually
exclusive objectives.” He
stated that war is an essential
aspect of every succeeding
civilization.
He presented the audience
with a list created by Caspar
Weinberger, Secretary of
Defense in the 1980’s. In the
list were several rules that
must be followed to initiate a
legitimate war: the mission
must be vital, the intention
must be to win, there must be
clearly defined political and
military objectives, it must
have the support of the
American people, and elected
representatives of Congress
and combat must be the last
resort.
Phi Theta Kappa advisers and officers pose following
the induction ceremony for new members: (1 to r) Gene
Smith, adviser; Marcia Blane; Ericka Alexander;
Shannon Davenport; and Michael Dubrowsky.
The VOICE staff dedicates this issue to all
those involved with freeing an oppressed
people: “They also serve who only stand and
wait.”-John Milton, “On His Blindness”
