The correct answer to the question is:
Most people in government were supporters of the US Cold War policies, especially the buildup of the military because they saw the Cold War as a struggle between freedom and tyranny.
Explanation:
1. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union were engaged in a political, economic, and ideological rivalry that lasted for decades.
2. The US government and many of its officials viewed the Cold War as a struggle between freedom, represented by the United States and its allies, and tyranny, represented by the Soviet Union and its communist ideology.
3. This perception influenced the support for policies that emphasized military strength and containment of communist expansion to protect and promote democratic values and freedoms.
4. The belief that the Cold War was a battle between freedom and tyranny guided the decision-making process in favor of military buildup and other measures seen as necessary to confront the perceived threat posed by the Soviet Union.
By understanding the Cold War as a struggle between freedom and tyranny, government officials justified their support for policies aimed at countering the Soviet influence and safeguarding democratic principles.
