...Navy's unconcealed rage against the Guidance and the proposed shipbuilding cutbacks has jolted the Administration. At background briefings all around the Pentagon Harold Brown's aides have been straining to explain their reasons for issuing the controversial document. While many of their arguments are practical and plausible, they prove one of the Navy's charges: strategy has become a product of budget requirements and not vice versa, as ideally and theoretically it should be.
