God has been pleased to save us during the years of war that have already passed. We pray that He may be pleased to save us to the end. But we must do our part. – Eamon de Valera
After every major conflict – World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the fall of the Soviet Union – what happened was that we ultimately hollowed out the force, largely by doing deep across-the-board cuts. – Leon Panetta
