Mark Warner said "We place the Secretary, one of our very own for whom we have the absolute highest respect, in an awkward position that now these groups will petition him, and he is faced with the tough choice of deciding between those who once served with great honor and distinction should receive moneys which he feels very strongly today should go--every penny, every penny--to the quality of life, the modernization of weapons, the operational costs of those who are currently in uniform today. It puts the Secretary in a very difficult position. This concerns me." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
