Quotes by David Hunt

Al Qaeda is in 80 different countries. We need to harass these terrorist groups, everywhere - in Saudi Arabia, in Yemen, North Korea, the Sudan, Algeria, and Zimbabwe. And then there's the Russian mafia. We need to screw around with their banks, to squeeze them.

We should have been changing since the fall of Communism. That being said, we saw the value of the tank and the Bradley in this last war, both heavy. But the problem is, we need to be able to transport them to the theater much more quickly. We just can't have six-month buildups.
