Lindsey Graham actually said...

"the citizen soldier's time has come. You are going to get a seat at the table, General McKinley, if I have anything to say about it."

"Do you agree with me the only thing older than the Marine Corps when it comes to defending America is the citizen soldier?"

"I couldn't agree with you more."

"It is time for the citizen soldier to be sitting at the table, not just for political reasons, but for substantive reasons."
