In his inaugural address, president john f. kennedy expresses the main idea that people should welcome the job of defending freedom. which detail supports this idea? only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. for only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed. for man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life.
