“This report seeks to provoke thoughtful public discussion about a vitally important question: how do we keep America strong and safe in a complex 21st-century national security environment?” - Rep. Jim Cooper
“Unlike many Congressional reports, we have raised contentious issues and resisted the temptation to find easy, lowest-common-denominator solutions. My fellow panel members and I don’t agree with every idea in the Roles and Missions Panel report, but we believe the questions it raises must be answered. It’s time to start a conversation—not just in Washington, but across America—about rethinking national security.” -Rep. Phil Gingrey.
"Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war". - William Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)

Hang on — it’s going to be …interesting… around these parts for the next few weeks…
