military priorities service
I had other priorities in the 60's than military service
criticism granted military neglected point taken
To point out that our military has been overextended, taken for granted and neglected -- that is no criticism of the military,
military tvs embedded
The plan was criticized by some retired military officers embedded in TV studios. But with every advance by our coalition forces, the wisdom of that plan becomes more apparent.
war military mind
...And while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war. And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.
military gay thinking
I think the decision that's been made with respect to allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good one.
military thinking levels
I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time... The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.
military men thinking
It's not just Bin Laden or just those that are involved in the counterterrorism effort. We've gotta cast the net broader than that. But I think it's a - very special tribute that we all owe to the bravery and courage of the men and women in the intelligence and military business who performed so well to finally get it done.
zero military effort
Well, we've got a major effort under way to try to educate everybody, to let them know we have a zero tolerance policy where sexual assault is involved.
military believe thinking
If we have reason to believe someone is preparing an attack against the U.S., has developed that capability, harbours those aspirations, then I think the U.S. is justified in dealing with that, if necessary, by military force.
military nice believe
We need from time to time to use military force or all of the resources at our command in order to defend the nation and defend our friends. Sometimes that requires us to take actions that generate controversy. I think there probably are some who actually believe if we just go talk nice to these folks, everything's going to be OK. I don't think the world works that way.
military thinking use
I feel very strongly that the significance of 9/11 cannot be underestimated. It forces us to think in new ways about strategy, about national security, about how we structure our forces and about how we use U.S. military power.
military priorities stupid-republican
I had other priorities in the sixties than military service.
activity clearly last level military period presence today
I think we may well have some kind of presence there over a period of time, ... The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.
connection fair military procedures rules
They will have a fair trial, but it will be under the procedures of a military tribunal, under rules and regulations to be established in connection with that, ... We think it's the appropriate way to go.
