it to reconcile with the United States. Thus, the Air Force had the highest defense costs with heavy bombers, while the army, and especially the infantry, had to be reduced from twenty divisions to fourteen divisions (Schulzinger, 2000: 415).
"… The United States no longer have to use conventional weapons to fight the Soviet Union," John Foster Dulles stated in a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations on January 12, 1954, explaining the New Look policy. Dulles declared a policy of "retaliation with all the power" or "great revenge" to stop the aggression. In other word, the United States has threatened to use the most horrific weapons available against Soviet cities in cases such as the war on the Korean Peninsula (Schulzinger, 2000: 416). Thus, the Eisenhower-Dulles "Great Revenge" strategy was based on the fact that any country that attacked the interests and goals of the United States anywhere in the world was punished by any means possible and wherever the United States chose (Ambrose, 1994: 197).
