Theodore Roosevelt (TR) continues with an appointment to the Office of

Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy. Clearly, somebody is puffing-up this still
young man, and in a big way.

Near the end of 1897, TR explains his warmongering priorities to one of the
Navy's planners. Behold the chilling talk of a social-engineering psychopath who
views Americans as his personal clay, and military men as cannon-fodder to be
sacrificed for “the governing class.” TR: “I would regard war with Spain from

two viewpoints: first, the advisability on the grounds both of humanity and self-
interest of interfering on behalf of the Cubans, and of taking one more step
toward the complete freeing of America from European dominion; second, the
benefit done our people by giving them something to think of which is not
material gain, and especially the benefit done our military forces by trying both
the Navy and Army in actual practice.” (9) As for the pious rubbish about
“liberating Cuba”, we shall address that self - aggrandizing bit of bullshit
shortly.

The rapid career rise of the new Assistant Naval Secretary was fueled by the
same forces political and journalistic agitating for war with Spain.
