Political Quotes

“Yet there is one bill you can't vote against, and that is the bill that supports the troops in their residence, in their training and back here at home--the quality of life that we provide defense personnel, military personnel. This is the bill that funds the child care centers. This is the bill that creates the housing for men and women in uniform, who voluntarily join the service. This is the bill that creates the clinics and the hospitals, the support systems--any kind of community of support--and a special one for military personnel needs. So one can vote against the war, but one cannot vote against the support here at home. This bill has bipartisan support because it is interested in improving the quality of life of military personnel, who voluntarily come into the military. Everybody who passes through the Department of Defense ends up becoming a veteran. You cannot be a veteran without having served in active duty.”
