• The American servicemen and women of the Guard and Reserve leave their jobs, their spouses and their children to wear the uniform that defends our country.

No business should ever put the bottom line ahead of America's front line.

• Hillary Clinton realmente se transformó en una experta en seguridad nacional. Decidió unirse al Comité de Servicios Armados del Senado y se convirtió en una auténtica experta militar. Era famosa por ir a todas las audiencias del subcomité e interrogar metódicamente a todos los tenientes coroneles del Pentágono sobre las adquisiciones de defensa o los beneficios del servicio selectivo. Ahí es donde empezó a forjarse y perfeccionar esa reputación de halcón que creo que la ha seguido durante los años de secretaria de Estado y luego en la campaña presidencial.

• Certainly in the United States, you have a constituency in the form of the weapons laboratories, and you also have the branches of the armed services that are involved with nuclear weapons deployment, especially the naval submarine operations and also the air force's land-based ICBM operations. So they have a big lobby in Washington.

The plan has been a remarkable success, and now holds some $173 billion of assets for the benefit of our public servants and members of armed services.

• Podría discutir la magnitud de la expansión militar de Reagan, pero dada la invasión soviética de Afganistán, adelantarse militarmente a los soviéticos parecía algo sensato. Orgullo por nuestro país, respeto por nuestras fuerzas armadas, una sana apreciación de los peligros más allá de nuestras fronteras, una insistencia en que no había una equivalencia fácil entre el Este y el Oeste: en todo esto no tuve nada que objetar a Reagan. Y cuando cayó el Muro de Berlín, tuve que darle su merecido, aunque nunca le di mi voto.
