Adam Smith actually said...

"We get attacked when we show weakness. And as we cut our readiness, that around the world shows weakness."

"None of you in uniform have ever made the decision to go to war. That is always done by civilians."

"It is clear that large, indiscriminate, across-the-board cuts to the Federal budget would have serious implications for national security, our economy, and a wide range of important Federal programs."

"Sequestration will be damaging to national security."
