Answer: Specifically, Defense Department officials said that if Soviet forces were to invade the Persian Gulf region, the United States should have the capability to hit back there or in Cuba, Libya, Vietnam or the Asian land mass of the Soviet Union itself.

Explanation:

"Funds for the European front and for strategic nuclear forces will rise, but the sharpest increases will go to equipment, supplies, military construction and airlift and sealift capability for the Rapid Deployment Force. The philosophy behind this, according to senior Pentagon officials, is that the United States must not simply be able to respond to an attack by the Soviet Union wherever it occurs, but also be able to strike back at areas of Soviet weakness."

During the French and Indian War, France and Great Britain fought for control of North American territory. What impact did the e
Radda [10]
The biggest effect of the French and Indian War was that it taught the 13 American colonies how to fight together. Before this war there was a mutual distrust between the thirteen. The next common foe would be Great Britain in the American Revolution.

This war also left Great Britain in extreme financial trouble within their military which of course will be a huge advantage for the colonists in the Revolution.

Great Britain tried to tax the colonists to make some money to be able to afford their military but this backfired when the colonists asked for representation in parliament-were denied- and started tossing tea off ships in Boston. 

Therefore, we can really thank the French and Indian War for paving the way to our freedom.
