"The compromises we have made to modernization and readiness, combined with reductions to our force size and capabilities, translates directly into strategic risk."

"I believe this is the most uncertain I have seen the national security environment in my nearly 40 years of service."

"If we do not have the resources to train and equip the force, our soldiers, our young men and women, are the ones who will pay the price, potentially with their lives."

"Are we still headed for a hollowing of the force, or have we already arrived there?"
