Adam Smith actually said...

"To the extent that we can build partner capacity, develop partnerships with other nations, it can be a force multiplier for us in achieving our interests."

"The training that our military does to build the capacity of these nations is an incredible asset for our national security strategy."

"BPC programs are designed to address a U.S. national security problem."

"Instability as a byproduct of insecurity is in nobody's interest."
