John Campbell Greenway agrees with the importance of military readiness and is willing to go to war with an enemy such as Germany. However, he doubts the situation with Mexico will require his service. Greenway believes that Mexico should be handled in a similar way to the pacification of the Philippines. He would be pleased to serve in Theodore Roosevelt’s proposed division and makes suggestions for other officers.
